Oceans, Tears and Realization: Volume 1

By Ali Al-Arithy

I wrote "Oceans, Tears, and Realization" when I was facing some low points in the year 2018. I have dealt with mental health growing up. There was always this feeling but never a word or words to describe the feeling. Whether it be a good feeling or a questionable one, there never seems to be a way of communicating that. I started writing last year when I fell deeply for someone, they made all the things that I worried about disappear. They offered the comfort that I haven't felt and then after no communication between us and just like that depression grew with the passing day. And that's when I started to make words to what I was feeling. These poems are not just about the issues we face mentally but also giving a voice to those actual emotions from my perspective. Subjects like love, loneliness, confusion and more come into the form of words.
