~the Jade Green~

take me to where
the seaweed
meets the water
in a jade green
laugh
and a cry
that crash against each other
at the same time

were just waves
trying to find our destination
trying to fight against the jagged
and torn
edges of sea foam

I surrender
who I’ve been
for who I want to be be now

just to think
I used to be alive
why did I feel
I had to hide it away
why did I make excuses
of a weak-hearted cry

when I close my eyes
maybe someday I’ll understand why
why I set myself aside
from the laughter


now my eyes are too tired
of being weighted down
by the sea
of my own making
pulled away
by the riptide
fingers crazy
and grabbing sand
its all about which
illusion I chose
I see that now
like a storm you can’t predict,
I’m in my chaotic form
watching the sky
darken and lay form
to each rolling wave
colors
of the sunset
reflect like broken glass

on the wet sand
