i tell my troubles to the ocean

i tell my troubles to the ocean
i point my chin up to the sky
i tell my problems to the ocean
the ocean never asks me why


i cleanse my soul
i salt my heart
dip my feet into the sand
i try to forget all frustrations
and just enjoy my time on land


i cry to release my sorrows
all my fears and all regret
i tell the ocean everything
for the ocean does not fret


i sail the surface
i flow with the tide
i try to relax and just appreciate the ride
why even try to hide?
when i can just learn to take pride
and allow all of my feelings that are deep inside
to be tried
why not let them be my guide?
and remain in stride
to confide
i just sighed, but i never lied
sometimes i think i just died


i tell my troubles to the ocean
