Change

I stayed afloat on the surface

In pieces and in wholes,

A tiny drop of consciousness

In the ocean of souls.

​

I endured the swell of ripples,

And feared the crashing waves,

Contented myself with shallow tides

In the darkness of the caves.

​

I despised the dance of storms

And the world beyond the "strange",

Never ventured upon the vessel

That swam on the tides of change.

​

I rose and sank along the tide,

As though it was foolish to even dare,

And when the waves came crashing down

I was faced with true despair.

​

Now I'm washed into oblivion

My voice hasn't reached the stars,

The change has left me riddled with holes

And marred my soul with scars.

​

The struggle is carved upon my bones

And I know what I had missed,

Because never did I truly live,

All I did... was just exist.
