You Were Meant for More

You stand there staring at the waterline,
Like something's pulling from the other side.
Feet in sand, but your mind drifts far,
Caught between what is and what you are.
They told you stay where the ground feels known,
But something in you won't stay still for long.
There's a voice you keep underneath,
Saying this ain't all you're meant to be.
You were never meant to crawl; you were built to rise beyond it all.
But you shape yourself to fit the frame, call it living,
But it's not your name.
Love is something you carry through,
