Wavering Identity

 The water is deceptively 
deeper
  than it appears 
wavering in and out
on the horizon

Wading further out
    feeling soaked
   broken untethered 
alone 

   Working up the courage
  walking on sharp
     pieces of shattered
         sea shells 
      foamy froth 
     undulating beneath
     
     Separating from the hold
   that was placed
      becoming whole again
         finding my identity
