An Ocean of Emotion
Throughout the vastness of space, where we erase pointless information
We often approach warm and cold fronts in our saltwater minds
Sometimes we’re capable of preparation, and yet, we often feel devastation
We carry tendencies to exert apologies, yet we’re still misaligned
At last, we will cast away our mental castaways
Sometimes, we’re led astray, feeling ripped and tattered in frays
All along, we’ll feel a craze as we graze the praise
Some things never feel nice, such as rations of reason stripped away
Replace the next wave, let the tides of turbulence pass by
Keep your patience, people will except your appreciation
In spaces where our atmosphere is clear, all to clarify amplified
Emotions that often create sediment in our mantle in conservation
Even when we seek consolation, we find a gentle breeze
Of a person’s breath to be soothing—despite if it’s freezing
After all, that temperature shift leads to a cold front mixing
With our warm front, creating a storm of emotion, it’s conflicting
While we’re always lost at sea, we’ve seen the panes of glass
Past our actions that shattered the boats made of mirrors
We hated our reflection as we sailed the space–now it’s clearer
To see the release we lacked perpetually, locked away in our wrath
We gave love, they gave infatuation, we gave affection, they lost attention
We lost happiness, they gained interest, we felt agonized, they became victimized
Twisting faster than turbulent tides, deflecting more than our mirrors with ill intention
We were caught, our breath choked as they tainted the reality, we became humidified
Now the storms thunder and roar as we cry, scream, and shout in pain
Where our misery was caught in the jaws of our depths of an ocean
So vast and limitless, that there was no limit to our scornful haze
Our words were infinite, we tried to beg—belittling ourselves to stop the poison
But they never apologized, they made us petrified and distanced
They abandoned us, leaving in our times of need, like discarding a broken tool
An object, an inanimate thing to be utilized and reused, like an obtuse spirit
Where they couldn’t manipulate our empathy—treating us as if we’re uncool
