Poem | Seashore

I cried a river of tears last night

Because I couldn't keep the pain inside

But morning came and

A new dawn shone

So once again I showed you

My laughter and smile

Despair and anxiety had broken me

Like a shattered sea glass on a rocky beach

Where thundering display of rough waves

Smashed me against the sharp edges of a 

Tall cliff

Cutting my back and leaving me bleeding

Those same waves washed me to the shore

And I laid there unconscious

The blithering heat of the Almighty Sun

Scorching the bruised skin on my back

I heard silent footsteps on the seashore

And the first hope I had in a while

I woke up to blinding rays of sunshine and

Sunflowers, and a tray of understanding

And encouragement, and a cup of goodwill

With a little spice of love

And I knew no better present than the 

Current me

Who learned that self-love is all I need

I walked the dark, ragged path yesterday

I skipped around the garden of grass and 

Flowers today

I am new. I am.
