My words became the waves around me
Ones many tried to break
My thoughts shattered with every drop that breaks from its wave
My journey to find my soul
Broken by others that broke my words away
Words that no longer belong to me
The ties that used to be proof of my experiences,
Taken by force
I'm lost within words so foreign to me
Yet so close to my being
I look down to a work that is supposed to be my reflection
The waters are murky around me
I float back to a place that brought comfort
The emptiness inside nonexistent
Deep breath
I dive through trying to reach my net of words somewhere in its depths
