Changing with the Tides

Shelby Leigh

a series of letters and poems about overcoming hardships and embracing the future. divided into two parts, the anchor and the sail, "changing with the tides" touches on anxiety, insecurity, unhealthy relationships, loss, healing, positivity, and more.

to the anchor:

my head is still
above water,
though you wanted
me to drown.
even your weight
around my ankles
cannot drag
me
down.
