medicine

today i swam in the ocean,

allowing my tears fall back into sea,

that held past traumas from years ago.

i approached the currents, mourning.

wrapped in a sheet of regret and pain.

as my tears dissipated as the waves crashed over me, my unconscious mind settled.

i drifted back to the pebbly shore with immense gratitude and peace.

thankful that the universe gave me a second chance at life.

to continue breathing, learning, growing and loving.
