I'm a blackened sea

My consciousness a lonely boat

In the dark

Constantly driven

By the breeze of thoughts

Everything else lies in the depth

Or haunts me from the infinite vastness

But they are there

They live within the ocean that is me

Eaten by white walls of torn apart

And twisted recreated memories

No foghorn to prevent

No stars to stay on target

No anchor heavy enough to hold

I sail through undead creatures

Beyond any myths

Lost among cruel personalities

Disturbed by forbidden desires

That appear and disappear

Until I make my peace with them

They are there and scare me

Dancing madly through my dark water

They whisper and scream

Rise up the waves

I feel alone outside of my high sea

I'm afraid

They make me sick

They drive me insane

Tormented by my emotions

A restless surface that lets me know

I'm still alive

I, Struggling against the whimpering wind

that’s howling its mendacious narratives

I maintain the equilibrium

In their conjured storm of fear

A never ending maelstrom

From here to the end of my horizon

Evil spirits spin their mournful yarn

Of indifference around my rotten

Hull of dreams

They drag me down

Into a lunatic void

Hollow screams underwater

A loneliness that is not heard

That never wants to be heard

There will be

Never enough scope

For the inscrutable ocean

Of the lone man
