Like the wave that reached my feet
when I had been a slave to my inner beast
I wouldn’t either let myself sink
or sail
I wouldn’t either let myself win
or fail
I was numb
frozen by my insecurities
I was stuck
paralysed by my footprints
I neither had the power to erase
nor courage to move.
One day
the wave reached my feet
It pulled me inside
knowing I was immobile
It ain’t easy to see through the blues
my only options were to float, dive or exist
It instilled me with the courage to move forward
even if it meant engulfing the whole world.
