WAVES
(inspired by the song of the same name)
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and I just need to breathe
Inhale exhale put my mind at ease
Imagine that soothing ocean sound
Sunny with that cool breeze
Had to deal with the storms
To know if I can weather the weather
Or whether this becoming the norm
This why I keep training
Being in top form
Because I been at the bottom
And I had been down worn
Feel the times changing
Sand running out in the hour glass
Another moment lives on
A new memory begins to pass
Environment changing around me
Adapting to the new grass
Acknowledging it first
So I don’t feel the hurt last
New life beginnings
Seem like series getting a reboot
Love in the air so loud
And for me the love is mute
Sometimes I bite my tongue
As they say keep it cute
Keeping the same things to myself
I am Groot, I am Groot
Let’s get to the root
What is this that im experiencing
Waves keep coming
Water keeps rippling
And I realize it’s just waves
They come and go
Hit or miss
Sometimes it just has to feel like this
Waves by Russ is a perfect way to close out Mental Heath Awareness month. This song serves as an introspective of maintaining one’s psyche and dealing with things as they arise. It’s an ongoing challenge that many people, including myself deal with on a normal basis.
