I'm writing to you from a cave on the bottom of the ocean floor

chained down by my stress and shackled by my fear,

i'm dreaming to pass time, i'm dreaming to see you

and i'm starting to forget the color of your eyes.

I've written you my letters, but kept them in a box,

for only my eyes to see, in fear of you knowing how I feel.

I know you don't want to talk to me, you live upon  the shore,

your feet dance free, not shackled to the floor.

This is letter number 15 from a boy with too many fears,

this is letter number 15, trapped in a box for ten thousand years

And if you lose it all,



you still live

Year after year the ocean tides shaped me,

moving me from side to side on my timely journey

Decade after decade I never saw the sun,

wandering the ocean floor waiting to be found

Century after century I finally reached the shore

sitting on the beach I saw a world, never seen before

Basking in the sun all I wanted was to see more

then the hand of a kid picked me up and threw me back to the ocean floor

&@$

With our hands and a light we built a castle to keep us safe,
and hide us from the thoughts of death that haunt us in our sleep

Brick by brick we pushed the demons out of the dark parts of our minds,
with each brick engraved with a poem - that helps us stay alive

With our hands and a light we built a door with a lock,
to let lost souls into our kingdom and to block out the thoughts

Refugees come to the sanctuary to sleep and to stay,
until the sun climbs from behind the trees and starts another day

With my hands and a light I held a paper and a pen,
I wrote a poem to the world to let them know they have a friend

And they can all build castles too,
and feel safe in their thoughts,
remember that you are not alone,
and that it's US against the dark
