Shipwreck

Sailing the seas of expectations

is an exhausting journey.

And one you have

To take on your own.

Many people failed

to reach the island of paradise.

They found the journey too painful

and gave up in the process.

I don't blame them.

I have also craved to be swallowed

by the tender waves.

Oh so elegantly, they could embrace me whole and

drown me in a storm of numbness.

They could softly lead me

to the bottom of the sea

Where every trace of sorrow

would bubble up and disintegrate.

Maybe this is the only way

To get to "paradise".

No wonder the ocean is populated with

Shipwrecks.
