Searching for one thing, I sometimes find another. Like the time… The time I searched for freedom; Freedom from my chains That hold me down to the ocean floor. Water filled my lungs. Salty water burned my eyes. I cold not breathe, and the darkness; It began to cloud my vision; To envelop me; To swallow me whole. I could no longer see. Everything gone. I was numb. I never found freedom. No, but I fount comfort; Comfort in the darkness; Comfort in the truth. I found comfort in the reality. This harsh reality that has consumed my mind, And the harsh reality That I am my chains.

Chains
Searching for one thing, I sometimes find another. Like the time… The time I searched for freedom; Freedom from my chains That hold me down to the ocean floor. Water filled my lungs. Salty water burned my eyes. I cold not breathe, and the darkness; It began to cloud my vision; To envelop me; To swallow me whole. I could no longer see. Everything gone. I was numb. I never found freedom. No, but I fount comfort; Comfort in the darkness; Comfort in the truth. I found comfort in the reality. This harsh reality that has consumed my mind, And the harsh reality That I am my chains.
