Treasure hunt🔍

When people go to the beach
And stare endlessly at salt water
What do they look for?
Are they looking for answers?
Solace in the unknown?
A hug that won’t be scorned at?
A place to drop tears where they belong?
A space where judgement does not exist?

When people go to the beach alone
And smile amidst endless downloads
Of shamelessly buried human dung
What do they look for?
Fresh air?
Peace?
Or hope that they will be okay.

    When I go alone, I hope that I scream and let off some steam
    Some may think it a joyous outburst
    When it’s actually an offload of pent up emotions
    Far into the depths of the ever flowing ocean
    And I hope I find peace
