the daughter of the ocean

I wish I was the daughter of the ocean

I wish I was the freedom itself

within violence and calm and rest

I could be all those things

I wish I was the daughter of the ocean

so I could swim freely among clouds

so I could easily spill through

every rock and every mouth

there's still only one reason

why I wish I could be born to the ocean

so I could escape

and run away and no one

will ever catch me

and I could be strong enough

to destroy people's lives

and still be the thing you need

to have to continue your life

as it is

if I was the daughter of the ocean I could be invincible

I could be everywhere I want to

I could be next to you,

invisible

if I was the daughter of the ocean

I could break seams

break out of molds and containers and hold ships

have no ends at all

I could be anything I would crave to be

a lake, a drop, a cloud, a wave.

the possibilities could be never ending

and the places

oh, the places! 

I could go

I'm just amazed to think

I could be the calm, warm sea of Ibiza

and the violent, raw Antartic Ocean

and now I look and I thing

I am the daughter of the ocean

for one simple reason

I myself

I am infinite
