The Sea, an Untamable Spirit
The sea gave me the best thing in my life, only to take it away a short time later.
She taught me what true happiness was.
She also gave me a taste of absolute devastation.
And through it all, I loved the sea; for though she gave me trials and tribulations, she also Was my confidant and comforter.
She alone did not judge me when everyone else said I was a fool for giving up Everything.
But she understood I did it so that I could live, and be myself.
The sea understood that, like her, I had an untamable spirit, and if that fire that fueled my Spirit went out, so did I.
That fire was who I was, and they seemed unable to understand this.
The society that I left always thought women were weak creatures, always in need of Protection.
Never was I in need of protecting!
Like the sea, I protected myself.
Perhaps that is why we understand each other so well, because we are the same.
An untamable spirit.
