Tides from The Light by Natalie Lucie

I see a light on the horizon
I cannot touch, I cannot reach
Toes sink into sand further and further now
Oh, be like the tide and just retreat

Indigo and gold, colours that soothe me
Warm sun on my skin, nothing to do
Safe havens I build behind my eyes
With handwritten reminders saying ‘breathe’

This isn’t sad,
It’s not really lonely
So hard to explain it
The feeling that holds me
I guess I just see the world
Through glasses that hurt me
Then fall into patterns
That just never serve me
Can anyone see me
When I am this blurry?

I pick myself up off the floor again
Try to shake off all the creeping shame
Voices in my mind there to remind me
Im so lucky, so lucky
Guilt, the unwanted guest
I just can’t push away

This isn’t sad,
It’s not really lonely
So hard to explain it
The feeling that holds me
I guess I just see the world
Through glasses that hurt me
Then fall into patterns
That just never serve me
Can anyone see me
When I am this blurry?

Oh the tide’s coming in
Let it wash over me
Let it wash over me
Oh the tide’s coming in
Let it wash over me
Let it wash over me
