Tides-Rescuer

Tides - Rescuer Boundaries cast down through the generations Let the fear of change fill the air. Too ashamed to stray, blindly push forward with the waves. Sink down into the grief. Wash over me. Lay here on the ocean floor, held down by the weight of outdated ways. Breathe in the hate, let it fill you with regret. Be swept away with the currents of society. The American way of feeling free. Find your place among the broken and empty. Fall in line with the preconceived destiny of being told who and what to be. Conform to a life led through defeat broken down by gender and family. Defined by the tides of ignorance. Caving in, swallowed pride chokes the throat of hollowed souls. Stare down into the darkness, find it staring back into me.
