Untamed

I sit with my back 

to the sunset.

Staring at the ocean

before me.

The waves are constant.

Like my thoughts

over and over.

xxx

Surrounded by people,

yet craving to be

alone.

Wanting to find peace.

Wanting to feel love.

A noise in my head,

like the rhythmic

crashing.

xxx

Patterns of behaviour

over the years.

Trying desperately

to release.

To feel something new.

To be happy with the mundane.

Stop trying to look for

an expectation

that doesn’t exist.

I can let my dreams

slip away with the sunset.

But they must

come alive with the 

sunrise.
