Settling

I’ve become a stranger to my own self

Unsure of my motives or who owns the thoughts inside my head

Cars and cliffs and roads all taunt and tease

But the sea does put those thoughts at ease

I just want to hug my mates

But I find myself settling for skin to skin with strangers

I can’t settle for this new normal

Cause it won’t ever be

I’m going to fight for better cause that’s all I know how to do

To fight the thoughts in my head

To fight the urge to jump

To jump the...

I’m not settling
