The Waves

The Waves

Depression sweeps over you
Small waves at first making their way to shore
The Waves get bigger
Covering your body, the depression soaking in

Then the ten footers start 
Crashing over you as you lay helpless on the beach
Consuming you, every inch of your mind, body and soul

You fight off one monstrous wave 
And then another one drives you in to the ground
Not letting you up for air
You feel numb

The only feeling you have is emptiness
You hate feeling this way
You desperately want the ocean to be calm
Please oh please let it be calm 

It does settle eventually
But the waves can last days, weeks or even months
You grasp on to anything to stay afloat
Need some hope, need some hope 

A wise woman once told me even after the greatest of storms
The sun will rise again

That is all I can do
Fight each day to see that crimson light rise over the horizon

And fuck is it worth it
