Girls Of the Sea MAG
September 23, 2018
The human body is made up of 75% water,
therefore, we are vessels for the oceans
that rush
through our veins,
and crash against our chests,
leaving behind shipwrecks that we once
called love.
Like the ocean,
there is no controlling us.
We can be walking tsunamis,
ready to destroy anything in our path,
or calm waves on a Sunday morning,
beckoning you closer.
Either way,
we are deadly,
for the girls of the sea
cannot be controlled.

As a young girl, I often notice that we are often forced to be one thing or another, but never can we be both. When I wrote this piece I couldn't get over how easy it was for the ocean to be so many things at once--it was beautiful. It helped me realize that as a young girl I don't need to be this or that, I can be all of it at once.
