Under the Sea

By Keira De Vita

It seems picture perfect in the movies

Their lives, so glamorous, so cool.

No matter the dramatics

It’s the best of times

With all their antics.

The blue shades

Levels of the sea

Teals, periwinkles, and jades

It’s all so encompassing to me. 

I’m sucked into it… straight out of the blue.

You dont realize its happened to you

Until it hits you with that blue hue. 

The “sea” is like a home.

Until it is not.

Shoved down by the waves 

Ridiculed for days

The cycle never ends.

Under the sea

of influence and not knowing who to be

Did all the movies lie?
