Ocean View Below my feet I dig a hole And let myself fall in A complete circle around me My breathing room has found me In a space I can't explain I've never been this sane Or cooperative with my brain Today I'm glad to be alive To watch these waves crash & die Below my feet Under my seat And away from me Then be reborn amazingly Like follow my lead Breathe The wind blows for you too Fresh and new This way Inter-be today Right here -- right near yourself And that seashell Under my hood A well of wisdom Learn how to heal How to deal a new hand to fate Self-destruction can wait Tossed into the ocean Sifted between waves Like raw emotions Below my feet Under my seat And away from me Along with my doubts My cries, my hunger, my lies Thrown to the birds With all those hateful words I wrote to my Mom Turn my poetry into beautiful songs Drown my pain into passion It's already happened With a combination of peace and humble beginnings I've been given extra innings Another chance to inhale life And exhale yesterday Let all my old pain drain away Until there's nothing left to say -Darlene Chavarria
