There's so much hurt.
G-d, there's so much hurt.
-
Watching the ocean waves fail and triumph,
I wonder how many are stuck in its midst,
-
Fighting for just a breath of air
Because all their lungs taste is salt.

Heartfelt and relatable
The story invoked strong personal emotions
If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Wow this was deep and have a strong emotion to it as well. Excellent work.
well done
I am not salty, I am not hopeless in the fog, I do not struggle in the waves. I love, I discover, I accept the ups and downs; I am a fighter, I love. I do not surrender, I continue to be a human, I continue to be a child of the sun.
Gosh this felt so devastating. I hope you're okay. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Yeah... lungs tasting as salt-you hit that well...
This is a frightening time.
I feel the sense of overwhelm, and of being swallowed here. A great poem!
