I was an uncontrollable tidal wave
Breaking against unsuspecting shores
Unable to hold back the
Crushing weight of broken beings
I wrecked the simplicity that surrounded me
Content to be a raging tsunami.

I lacked where others prevailed
I succeeded only where I should not
I shaped shores into desolate and confused islands
Pushing farther away
My waves did not settle
If anything, they swelled higher.

I crashed on rocks sharper than my heart and
Broke away
I preferred chaos to thought
I did not look back,
Nor away.
