Let the Wave Crash Over Me
Folder:
May 2010
Let the wave crash over me,
and send me back to shore,
because I need to prove my emotional strength,
I want to really be sure,
that any amount up ahead,
won't make me ever again knock me off my feet,
so bring on the memories,
bring on the failure and defeat.
Got my motherless childhood,
crafty in the art of departure,
how about my horrible elementary life,
that one I'd prefer,
lets top it all off with the death of Nonnie,
leaving me crying in my old church,
maybe something can be that extra,
in my mind I must search.
We have the departure of 4 years,
following with the many depressing months after,
the amount of tears shed,
and the disappearance of my laughter,
chug it down with a glass of tears,
shed whenever I am leaving my mother,
or the fear of another heart attack,
followed up by another.
Slowly nothing seems to matter,
I begin to see in black & white,
all the depressing lines to write,
all the blue flames to reignite,
I feel folded,
and unfolded,
and then folded,
and unfolded,
worn out and barely holding myself together,
so I took my heart and just sold it.
Then I begin to smile,
as optimism takes the drivers seat,
everything happens for a reason,
I repeat as it repletes,
when feeling incomplete,
begin to delete all your defeat,
as it retreats so completely,
I realize I had truly bested defeat.
