Even the Ocean by Yina Rojas

 

Even the Ocean

by Yina Rojas

No one said 

they were sorry 

for the things that happened to me, 

They guilted me for how I reacted. 

I pushed it all down,

with a gulp of water,

with years of tears.

But even the ocean caves-in

and allows the storm to pass. 

It waits for the tide to settle

with grace and patience. 

I bite my salty lips, 

get up and keep going,

waiting for the chaos to settle,

hoping for patience and grace 

to liberate me.
