The struggle to regulate emotion Is difficult when they arrive as waves But originate from an ocean Trying to fold it all together Like a beautiful origami Unintentional suppression Which culminates into a tsunami That crashes down on your illusion Bursting through the levy And drowning in the confusion Of self discovery As vast as the universe within A perplexing mystery Inside of me Searching for a place to begin My quest As I observe my ego And balance the rest When the tides cleanse the slate Of internal distress accrued Perhaps I'll wade amongst the water And find the answer I've pursued.
