The power of a destructive mind
The ocean consumes my thoughts and makes them its own.
As I feel the heaviness lift, I see the earth change to stone.
The waves get dark, full of thickness and dreams, and the tide pulls stronger on the ones with weak knees.
I see the fault in my mind, as it corrupts the sea, how selfish I was to let the madness escape from me.
So I take it all back, change the water to blue.
But if you ever knew what was going on inside, it would destroy you too.
