No One Can See the Hidden Ocean I've Created

That’s So Diani by Diani Lucas I am independent and broken I wonder what life has planned for me I hear the sound of the fresh breeze singing in my ear like wind chimes in the air singing I see my grandmother’s beautiful soul in the sky telling me to never give up on what I love. I want to be happy like the happiest kid on Earth getting candy I am independent and broken I pretend I’m a pretty princess who runs in a flower field escaping her castle with her charming prince. I feel like a feather falling to the ground as it gives up on trying to fly away again I touch my uncle's hand, hoping for some guidance to survive this cruel world I worry about when it’s my turn to leave this Earth for good or worse. I cry because I'm not happy with what my life has turned into and how I grew as a person I am independent and broken I understand I mess up at certain points in life, it’s a mistake I’m human I say I promise to find my purpose in life and why I was brought on this earth I dream about my success and wonder if it will ever work for me I try to act okay when I’m not like parents on a Monday morning I hope I'll be happy one day like the best man at his bro’s wedding But, I am independent and broken. 60
