The Ocean of Despair

It is all around us,
The Ocean of Despair,
It calls me to drown in it's waves

And sometimes I want to drown,
To forget everything,
And just cease.

No more struggle,
No more pain,
Just silence

Today I had a swim,
Grabbed the leg of the table,
And dove right in,
This time I kept my eyes open

I was surprised by the beauty
that was revealed to me,
Gentle currents in all direction,
Cool and warm,
Playfully swirling me around,
Pushing and pulling,
Flowing all around me

There were tiny creatures all around,
Dancing with me,
A whole universe inside

So don't believe the hype,
Just dive right in,
And let experience change you
