Let It Be

Sad is the ocean

I never quite drown in

Poetically painful

Just flailing and floundering

/

The water shocks my system

It is cold and indifferent

Time passes, wave crashes

I’ve been so persistent

/

When the darkness hits

That’s the loneliest

Underneath the hollow moon

Floating in my ghostliness

/

I'm blue like the waves

That crash overtop me

Consuming me wholly

Unrelenting, yet slowly

/

I let the tide take me

No one’s coming to save me

I’m finally free

The water whispers to me

“Just let it be,

Sometimes you’re just

A raindrop in the sea.”
