I walked barefoot, alone at the sea shore

Praying the waves would wash my inner thoughts

And birds would sing the song of pain for me no more.

I felt the breeze of the morning everyday

Enjoying the sun’s rays on my shoulders

While contemplating a life that had no more sense to stay.

I watched the colors of the dawn as they whispered to me

I could feel chains all over my head and body

I was breathing but I was not living and free.

My mind shut down for brief moments in eternity

I realised I was walking on earth

Yet there was mud all over the places I could not clearly see.

I joined the sea for weeks and more

That’s how i realised how tranquil life can be

When I  jumped to the other shore.

Relephant:

I Belong to No One.
