My eyes can't see
The emptiness so big
Others guide me
I don't know the path
I'm sinking
Struggling against the tide
Fighting for certainity
In an ocean filled with fiction
I'm seeking reason
My voice blends
With an uncanny whisper
Fear speaks to my vanity
Soon, the sobs,
They morph into waves
And...
Im drowning
I'm sinking
I'm drowning
An abyss
Pitch black
I'm fading
Alone
Trying to swim
In water's of others' making
My soul dies
But,magic peaks
Within, a voice tells me
"Just float"
In waters of my making
I start to float
My voice blends
With a familiar whisper
I speak to my humanity
Soon,
My soul,
Ignites

Her love of stories is taking her to New Mexico to pursue an advanced degree in counseling psychology to help people face and share the stories they carry deep within their souls.
