Tsunami

Me The girl I was The woman I am The sum of someone who has never been enough for anyone I've walked on eggshells my entire existence never having trod on solid ground The soil under my shoes always shaky Trembling Tossed around Torn apart and tattered Left lonely and shattered Tidal waves of tragedy Tsunamis of uncertainty Bracing against their blows throwing me off balance Unable to gain traction to move forward a fraction Tripping and slipping Boxed in by barricades Struggling to survive and swim To hold my head above the water Clinging to the detritus of dreams as the angry sea washes over me Desperately crying out in anguish For help I know will never come
