My breaking was my becoming,
But i didnt know it then;
Built an ocean from my tears
Watched its waves rise up and crash,
I Stood at the shore and wandered
Of the nothings i have left,
While the ocean i had built up,
Watched me break torrentially.
I thought that I had nothing
But here’s an ocean calling me,
I could sail to all the everythings,
I’ve always wanted to see.
But the thing I learnt of sorrow
Is It never lets you see,
That endings aren’t doors closing,
Sometimes endings are the keys.
Oh Ameena….your last paragraph is so very true! The whole poem is sad and beautiful dear friend!

Ameena, this poem is so sensitive ending with a positive truth.
I also like ” I could sail to all the everythings,
Iāve always wanted to see.”
How beautifully expressed.
