When it feels like you’ve lost yourself,

- in an ocean void of hope -

you try to find what grounds you.

The person, the thing, the moment

In time where you were stable-

Where you believed in yourself

- in faith -

And most detrimentally -

in others.

But what happens if

you never actually found Yourself?

You were only floating,

- senseless –

a care not given.

If no emotion could hurt,

then what was I then?

And who am I now?

Racing further to oceans floor.

Was the beginning of my ascent,

What I thought to be my descent?

Was the depths of waters

drowning who I wasn’t meant to be?

So now, am I clinging to my instigator?

What made me begin my descent –

Or ascent –

Do I think what started it can end it?

No

It can’t.

You have to do this

Yourself.
