Be Free

I want to feel calm like the ocean, like the sound of the waves meeting the sand.

I want to not feel lonely anymore, I want to know how it feels to have other people around you.

I want to be visible like the ocean, I want people to see me.

I want to be free.

I want too not be afraid.

I want to explore things I’ve never seen before, things extraordinary.

Don’t ask me to hold things for you, I am not a table.

Don’t tell me I’m angry, you don’t control my emotions.

I am going to be the ocean and you can’t change that just like you always have…
