The Human Mind

A person's mind is impossible to find Their life experiences, their knowledge, their emotions, are like an ocean of light. As soon as you reach the shore, you realize there's so much more You can barely get your feet wet in their shoes Your eye only withholds a limited view because the ocean goes on endlessly, far off in the distance We can only witness so much, Until we walk past the boundaries of shallow and sink below. We can see only ourselves in the water's reflection, Too naive to see the mind of the other. We can't drink the water, too much salinity Can't comprehend the person, for they are infinity
