"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measures. It is our light, not darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous talented and fabulous? Actually who are you not to be?” Nelson Mandela


I wish I could be standing at the edge of the sea-

I wish I could be standing there, breathing that salt water air.

I wish I could let it go.

Stand there against the ocean and feel small.

I wish I could stand by the ocean and let my fears go.

I wish I could stand there and no longer feel any woes.

I wish I could let it go.

But I don’t know why I hold it in.

I don’t know why, but it’s becoming a sin.

I want to feel small.

I want to get lost.

I want to be washed clean.

I want to stand by the sea, breathing in that salt water air.

I want to squeeze the sand between my toes, and watch the little hermit crabs scurry along the sand.

I want to watch the waves crash against the rocks and break into small –
Beads of water, salty and cold.

I want to stand by the sea, breathing in that salt water air…
I want to feel small
I want to feel insignificant.

I want to breath that air, that clings deep in my lungs.

I want to watch the waves crash and break.

I want to stand by the sea, breathing in that salt water air…
