What happened to the
simple things ? What
happened to love ? What
happened to us human
beings ? What happened
to when you'd look at the
sea you'd think of all the
things we could be ? What happened to the poetry
you used to see on the
curl of the waves ?

Did the pure hearts
shatter ? Did they break
and scatter ? Where did
our confidence go ?

Why is it that we reached
the point of jumping off
bridges and boats ? Why
is it that we reached the
point where our own words
cause us to cough and choke ? What happened to life ?
Who sharpened all these
razor blades and knives ?
Where did the respect
and loyalty go ?

I'm screaming under the
ocean waves from below. I
hope someone hears me
out there. And if they do
I'd like to know the answers
to these questions. I'd like
to know before my soul
leaves my body.

Before it wonders off.
Before it goes. Before I
become nothing but a
corpse. Before I drift
away above the tidal
waves to the
unknown* ~
