Why the ocean is salty

I salt the ocean with my tears

I am living life

With dreams and fears

Walking the sandy beach-

Thinking of life and love

Some things are so far from reach

The ocean below-

The sky above-

I cannot rush love though

Like the wave rushes in

It is not a loss

It is not a win

Where do I go from here?

We come across tough times as teenagers. We are too young to make such big decisions yet we are too old to have our parents make those decisions for us. So what are we to do? I usually never have any idea what I will say next or what I am about to do. I live in fear of saying or doing the wrong thing in someone elses eyes. I am scared to death to make a mistake in a relationship or in life. Yes, may be I am crazy. I do not know where to go from here though. I am only 17. I want to be older but I still want to be young. My mind is racing with concern and confusement. I don't know how to feel anymore. Being scared makes my heart race, and my stomach sick. Where do I go from here?
