It seems I'm lost at sea
Yet again, yet again
Do not worry, Do not fret
The sea was always home
I never was the girl
That fought and struggled
To keep just an inch of clarity

I've always found more peace
In just letting go
An odd calm in simply drifting
Going with the flow
The fighting, the struggling
That just wasn't me
I didn't know that girl
She was a stranger
An angry, angry stranger
Lashing out at anyone and everyone
Like a wild animal

I never liked that girl
She didn't feel like me
I didn't want to fight
I didn't want to struggle
All I simply wanted
Was to close my eyes and let go

and I know I'm not smiling now
So I'm sorry
I'm sure you hate this version of me
Because she just can't smile
or maybe you just hate me for me
maybe things just weren't meant to be
I don't have any answers
I never did
all I had were assumptions, guesses,
and what I hoped was true<sub>
This is my first real attempt at poetry in years. I can't say I'm happy with it, but I don't absolutely hate it, so I guess that's a start.
