I want to comfort the world

I want to comfort the world,  but the world does not accept me.  It does not want the gentle warnings of a mother,  who can then comfort you...

Little Mermaid

 

They Called Her A Swimmer,

“I’m Tired Of Drowning”,

Unsure of what that all implies,

I’m tired of falling asleep all while 

learning new ways to keep my head

above water,

never seeing how she drowns herself

at night just to get some rest,

I’m tired of being scared of just a regular

season in me the one that your tramples 

over each other as if I am a rock 

in my own way,

nor seeing the season behind why in public

it looks almost majestic how she keeps

her head above water,

I’m tired of how people have asked me

why I fear no storms,

how she seems to gracefully float amidst

the waves,

why thunders do not unnerve me,

They have called her a swimmer

never knowing that she was a body

of water herself,

wonder how it is coming to the point that I

do not fear learning what lies underneath 

my still waters,

that her entire being is an aquatic life form.

find the same tsunami causing current.

Her voice is one of a siren 

she’ll have you convinced that she knows

such thing as tears.

  1. She harnesses the ability to calm others as she attracts many. In her natural state, she can master any form as she is much like water. "I'm tired of drowning" feels like a call to understand the process of what it is to tread in any environment. The waters can imply many forms, and for myself I resonate with those waters being compared to topics like inebriation and more. Powerful, and promising-- she is known for being a swimmer.
