Brittany Zedalis- Two Poems

The Ocean Flows Free

The ocean beneath

my feet, the sand

Sliding through my

fingers, I'm free.

I see the

seagulls, making their

Way towards the sun 

and the sky, they're free.

The breeze blows

cool, on my face

Hot tears of loss and

love, fall free.

Insanity

A fantasy

Built from dreams

Deep in their mind

A never-ending reverie

A twist on reality

   Forgetful of truth

Or morals

   Or why

A fantasy

   Vicious and shedding self control

A fantasy

     As simple as the definition

Of insanity
