Tsunami
Tsunami

You tried so hard not to rock the boat
But instead you became the storm
A tsunami of feelings not dealt with
Strong enough to destroy everyone
Why do we do these things?
Why do we keep pushing the feelings down?
Why do we struggle with our boundaries?
Why do we allow people to push us around?
Every time we refuse to deal with things
The wheels keep spinning in place
Every time we postpone our hurt
We get lost in our mind's labyrinth
Sometimes you have to rock the boat
Sometimes you need to be the storm
Not everyone will appreciate your boundaries
So, be the tsunami as a warning
Ask yourself the right questions
Take time to put yourself first
Everyone deserves love and honour
The opportunity to be light and truth
You tried so hard not to rock the boat
But instead you became the storm
A tsunami of feelings not dealt with
Strong enough to destroy everyone
Why do we do these things?
Why do we keep pushing the feelings down?
Why do we struggle with our boundaries?
Why do we allow people to push us around?
Remember that you deserve love and care
Kindness, consideration and respect
And if you don't deal with your emotions
Your tsunami will hurt your efforts
Ask yourself what you truly want
Go after what you dream of
Stand up for yourself and know
That you are a beautiful being of water
Embrace your ethereal qualities
Feel your soul's infinite worth
Allow yourself to expand and grow
As a powerful force in the Universe
