i am a message in a bottle
my deep secrets sent out, an ode for help,
in hopes of someone reaching out and reading me

i am a message in a bottle
my glass, worn from tumbling in the sea,
grows more beautiful the longer it crashes

i am  message in a bottle
my enigma a story, a ballad,
told to the children of mermaids in every corner of the sea

i am a message in a bottle
my mere existence beacon of hope, of saviors
sent to save those who are lost

i am a message in a bottle
my whole being shaken and smeared
by one drop of water, one cruel word

i am a message in a bottle
my contents a mystery, who knows what’s
inside?
