The beach

Rain sprinkling my face,

Soon to storm.

Sand running through my toes,

Will rub and burn my feet.

The oceans waves are calm,

A hidden monster lies in the deep.

I step to the waves with no fear,

Welcoming the pain it has to give.

It pushes and pulls, shoves and tugs

I do not waver under its force.

Shards of shell slash at my feet.

Rain pelts down my hair.

All washes away the pain I feel.

The pain at returning to the real world.

Here at the beach, where the world wants you down

I feel my highest, my strongest.

Here at the beach, I feel at peace.
