Alone, sitting in the sand, feeling the air from the sea as it takes strands of hair and dances with them across my face in the gentle breeze. Staring at the reflection of my swollen eyes in the moonlit waters, listening for Mother Nature to answer my soft cries. The only answers I am met with are the splashes of water as the waves push and pull in the current, she isn't coming to my aid this time. I was going to have to save myself.
