Release at Sea

She swallowed her truths, softened her voice,
Dimmed her light to blend with the town’s peace,
But it never worked, despite her choice.

In the quiet of waves, she found her voice,
A sailor at sea, where her soul could release.
The wind in her hair, the sea’s steady noise,
Brought freedom, where doubts once sought to cease.

On the vast, open waters, she could rejoice,
Her spirit untethered, her heart found its peace.
No longer muted, she felt her strength rise,
A splash of red in the endless blue skies.
