Poem: The Sea
#10 of 2021 Mental Health Crisis
A sad poem about damage again.
The body remembers;
the soul forgets;
she cannot withstand the pain.
She cannot protect;
can't even remember;
her very own special name.
She dares not look up;
She dares not look down,
in fear of what eyes will see.
She cannot look forward,
or back to the side,
for fear of drowning in sea.
A sea of emotions,
a sea of despair,
she paddles ever across.
No lighthouse, no beacon
no ship's passing light,
she is forever lost.
