The tide flows just as strong-
lapping against the shores
Washing up bits of the past
but I beat them with my oars.

Pushing them back out to sea-
where the whales and sharks devour
Never wanting memories of old
To steal my newfound power.

Slowly and surely I paddle out
To find the silent place
Where I reflect and quiet my soul
And feel the sun on my face.

My toes buried deep in sand
the warm sun on my skin
The battle inside now long gone
I am my own best friend.

No one can hurt me anymore
Only if I give them the right
I can only be who I am
No one can steal my light.

SO I'll sit here so content
to find a wave to ride
Happy to be where I land
Thanks to the rushing tide.
