Furiously Bri

I was thrown into an ocean

Drowning in silence

Wanting the waves to crash over me

Because though I was suffocating

I felt the same rage on my skin

That I felt inside

The pain I felt was the rocks in the sand

Beneath my feet

Stepping on everything I did wrong

But I didn’t put them there

I was placed on them and forced to walk

Into the sea

Where you wouldn’t have to hear me scream

There was a moment

I didn’t want to ask for a life preserver

The waves were looking big, violent

I felt the pressure weigh me down

And I almost stopped swimming

But then, someone sparked life in me

Dragged me out of the sea

Placed me in new clothes

Painted a new hope in me

“I did not ask to be placed on the rocks,”

He reminded me

I stood on my feet

In rockless, soft sand

Felt the sun on my skin

He whispered sweet nothings

“You are worthy

You are strong

You deserve better”

I turned my back on the ocean

Remembering the temptation to let go

I smile because I realize

I was never meant to sink

I was meant to soar
