My emotions
Are an ocean
Vast And endless
I am insignificant
In this expanse,
I am treading pain
The way one treads water.
At this rate
I fear I will quickly tire
My tolerance will expire.
I am desperate for land
Sweet solid stability
My meaningful relationships
Are an island
They provide a highland
I can swim too
And hold
As if my life depends upon it
Because it does
And when I’ve escalated so high
There is no logic,Â
I can’t even move !
I am frozen as if weighed down ,
This sadness is heavy
And steals my breath :
There is life
And there is death.Â
