And as the waves return to the sea

So the words give way to silence

I can’t spend my whole life questioning

Just who it is I should be

...

People say I should be a mother

A lover

A caregiver

But my bones yearn to be free

...

Moments in life where I give way to the current

Are moments where I feel most at ease

Not pushing or pulling myself

Simply letting myself breathe

...

So I sit

In silence

Waiting for my soul

To give way to the silence surrounding

And return to the sea

Its rightful home.
