You see People
I see the ocean
Rippling with emotion like waves
Currents casting feelings out to sea
Until they tumble back over
And drown us in them
Until we can't feel them anymore
We sink deeper and deeper
In our downward spiral
Of feelings
Pain
Emotion
We eventually get so low
We can't swim back up
Stuck in a current downward
In what people say
Names and Titles
Sting like jellyfish
Bite like a shark
And poison like a sea urchin
Until we are numb
We sit in pain and shock
And wait for the rescue team
That sometimes never comes
Because for some of us
We dissolve like acid
Until there is nothing left to save
Because the oceans we live in
Are each individual
Some more deadly then others
You see people
I see the ocean
Rippling with emotion like waves
Current cast feeling out to sea
Until they tumble back over
And drown us in them
Until we can't feel them anymore
