Waves

The Tides of Trauma

Waves

The waves crash all around me

The salt stings

I ride the waves

Until it breaks

Or is it me that is breaking?

The current pushes me one way

I want to go the other way

The waves push me down

I come up grasping for air

The waves drag me back down

Do I keep riding?

Do I keep fighting?

Do I keeping coming up?

Or do I let the wave take me forever?
