Dear Sea

Dear Sea,

Last night I felt like running away

From myself, the social media and the society.

So, I ran and ran until I hit the dead-end.

And that end, fortunately, was you.

I feel it hard for me to breathe,

There’s a heaviness in my chest,

There’s a numbness in my head,

I don’t smile or grin anymore from within,

My tears and fears have never grown thin.

 

I’ve heard that you have a healing power in you.

That your songs with an unmatchable rhythm

Of crashing waves and singing whales,

Can heal a deafened heart back to life,

That your presence with the intensity

Of your wavy sights and tidal nights,

Can bring a lost smile back to life.

That your symmetrical scenic-serenity

Of the sunrise and sunsets reflecting on you,

Can make the pale-eyes glow back to life.

 

So, I’m standing here today to ask you -

If I take a dip in you, 

If I dive deep in you, 

If I confide in you, 

Would you save me from me?

Would you cut me off this anxiety?

Yours sincerely,

A salty teenager.
