storm surge

storm surge

A Poem by Marissa McKean

a mermaid soul

is invigorated by chaos

you can see it 

in her eyes

a storm brewing

deep within

the strength of the sea 

swells in her heart

all the tears 

she bottled up 

for centuries

begin to overflow

rushing towards land

with a force so destructive

a storm surge

wreaking havoc

wiping out any negativity 

in its path�"

 

never take for granted 

a mermaid’s ability to rise 

from the bitter cold depths of the sea

despite the pain she has endured
