SEA OF SADNESS

I'm swimming through sorrow in a sea of sadness,

  controlled by chaos bewildered by madness.

Yet a gladness is sired in the pit of my heart,

  it burns with desire and picks me apart.

It rips and tears at the madness in me,

  lost in the shadows I beg to be free.

Yes free of the me that swims in the sorrow,

  free to be me and enjoy my tomorrow.

But the demons in me are cunning and brave,

  bound to my soul they dig at my grave.

Tattered and torn on the edge of torment,

  shattered my mind is sleeping and dormant.

Awaken me and christen my thoughts,

  with love and life i've searched and sought.

I've fought my way through yesterdays shadows,

  I'm no longer lost and drowning in shallows.

The darkest of days are what give us our strength,

  ensuring our heart and soul for the length.

I've swam right through the sea of sadness,

  and conquered the chaos bewildered by madness.

Now treading water Its so easy to see,

  I'm no longer lost and finally free.
