Sea of Madness
The sea is a mysterious place. It can be calm as a summer lake, most like my mind in a
calm state. But it can be a hard cruel beast with monsterrous waves and unearthly creatures
waiting to devour the unexpected, crushing waves of distruction.They crash upon my mind in
waves of pain, bashing my thoughts into a million different directions just like when they
crash upon the sand. Seagulls circle like vultures waiting for the upchuck from the sea. M y
mind swirls upon this sea of madness. I cling to my rocky self hoping to have some control
of the contents of my mind. I scream soundless screams. A sense of peace surrounds me it
doesn't hurt anymore. The waves cover me like soft blankets promising comfort from the
pain. Let go, let go it whispers let go i will save you, let me drown your thoughts and feelings
no more pain no more fear. Let go, let go a sleep beneath my waves as i rock your battered
to sleep.
