You are the ocean

You contain deep depths of water Vibrant currents that pulse electric within you Sometimes an emotional storm chokes you And your waves ascend to perilous heights Then scream as they fall.
By Aditya Gyawali

You contain deep depths of water

Vibrant currents that pulse electric within you

Sometimes an emotional storm chokes you

And your waves ascend to perilous heights

Then scream as they fall.

 

You are creative and dreamy

You are a poet even if you only speak in droplets

Even if you rarely inscribe your thoughts

I am really going to understand your verse

Occasionally you meet souls that get you

Friends who are willing to take a rowboat out to meet you

And stay with you for a while.

 

You know dark nights and beautiful days

You talk to the sun and clouds 

When loneliness echoes within you

You hear voices sometimes

Are they within your depths 

Or is that the clouds whispering secrets?

You are idealistic

You sink ships and mirror sunsets

Cameras cannot capture you 

Since you are not static

You change, you surge,

And you roll in and out of beaches

You are the ocean

You are bipolar.

 

You, cosmic girl

Are as multidimensional as the stars can be

Choose to embrace every part of your multi-dimensional self

Explore your personality in all of its layers

Like flipping through the pages of a newly printed book

Every page is different

But they all contribute to the whole

Your creativity, your willpower

Your humor, your confidence, your work ethic

Your determination to get things done and bring life to your ideas

These characteristics and more are all yours

You are the ocean.

 

You’re the human full of light and energy

You are constantly molding and evolving

Learning and breathing in the lessons and

Truths you come across while walking through life

Shock the society that has

Made it taboo for a girl 

To be both smart and beautiful

Shock that it wants you 

To uphold femininity all the time

And be headstrong

And goal-oriented only when convenient

Because you are as multidimensional as the stars can be

And that is where your brilliance lies

 

I may not be pretty

Brave, skinny or witty

My teeth will never be straight

I may not be refined

But I’m caring, and kind

Who cares if I have lots of flaws?

But I will always give my 100 percent

Just to make you happy, just to make you smile

Because cosmic girl,

You’re the human full of soul

Full of light, and full of energy

You are the ocean

You are bipolar.
