You are the ocean

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.
 
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. 

you, are, ocean,
