message in a bottle
i throw it into the sea
escaping my darkest secrets
letting go of my past
screaming at myself for all the hatred inside of myself
crying at the broken soul to become whole again
but none of that happens for me
it waits
builds
creeps into my thoughts taking over every breath i take
every move i make
every inkling at saving my life
i throw it out to sea
hoping to be relieved
wanting to never see darkness again
praying to be ok again
but none of that happens for me
the ridicule continues
the head hanging doesn't stop
invisibility welcomes me back home like a long lost friend that never left
i throw it out to sea
every caring thought
every loving memory
every ounce of life left in me
this happens for me
leaving me empty
alone
cold
dead
dead
dead
dead
i wait by the sea
for an answer
minutes
hours
days
months
and now years
i turn away
leaving it at the sea
walking away from every pain
letting go of every tear brought to my eyes
erasing every memory
running under god's skies
taking off my mask
scars
bones
underneath it all
finally see me, my soul
alone
no response
just life
and all of my soul
running free from the sea
waiting
alone
