sadness is an ocean

sadness is an ocean

but i’ve learned how to swim

although her waves, they rend asunder

although her currents try to pull me under

because i’ve more than once been lost at sea

now i control the wind

sadness is an ocean

but i’ve found my way to shore

because her tides which seek forgiveness

are lies to hide what lies beneath us

my dear, for years i’ve treaded stormy waters

but i will drown no more
