_The Sea_

Some things in life aren't clear  
We hear the lies and truths  
Intertwine into each other  
And sometimes,  
We cannot tell the illusion  
From our reality

What we feel  
Is not what always should be felt  
We do not understand  
What is beyond the light  
Or hidden beneath the darkness

We look at death  
It glares back and smiles  
Knowing it will win  
It know that everyone  
Will die eventually

Sometimes our state of being is threatened  
The music is blinding  
The light is deafening  
We are lost inside our dreams

In our sleep we lie vulnerable  
Exposed to the knife of doubt  
Travelling through our minds  
We cannot feel the force of madness  
Until it is too late

Clarity is such a treasure  
Wade through the sea of turmoil  
Inside your mind.
