Uncommon Seas

I
remembered you,
you
remembered
me,
I believed in you,
You believed in me,
We were both sea creatures
traveling
uncommon seas.

We had taken to that
unconscious ocean
to see in the sea,
What we could see.

It's been a strange journey
of that there is no doubt.

Where everyone walks with
their insides in,
We travel these seas
with our
insides out,
We don't know any other
way to be
when you're swimming through
these
uncommon seas.

It's often a desert
out there,
But inside here
all kinds of musty
characters
drudged up from
anxious memory
inhabitants of this sea -
Sponge Bob Square Pants
has
nothing on you or me,
We are all travelers
in this uncommon sea.

Our bathing suits left far behind,
the temperature sometimes
too hot
too cold
depending on our state of mind,
There's strife
confrontation
character assination
often
uncommon seas
are far from placid.

The joy of traveling
though
you and me,
Sea creatures
feeling
the longing,
Finally belonging,
Where somewhere
and
sometimes
out of the blue,
A Beluga whale
speaks
your
name
so
perfectly
and
swims alongside
you and me
in
uncommon seas.
The symbol for the unconscious in dreams has been known to be the ocean.

You're told that everyone is different
It's okay to be different
But if everyone is different
wouldn't that mean
that everyone is the same?

You not so different
You're more than that
Like some sort of
Uncommon difference

There's different
and then
there's you.
You are
the uncommon difference

Stop hurting yourself
It's gonna be okay
But is it really?
You're all alone

Will you benefit from this?
Is it like a class
A lesson to be learned
Maybe
But you don't know
You can't see your future

Is this going to end happy
Or just end
Just like that
You're dead

No one knows
Because
You're not different
You're
The Uncommon Difference

It hard to let go of someone.
You've been good too.
Who you've gave your all too?
It's hard.
But it's not uncommon.

Those that have departed a good thing.
Seems to be living regrets on certain days.
Either their next love didn't do what you've done.
Or they forget that love is a hurting thing.
But it's not uncommon.
To see them begging for a second chance.

No, it's not uncommon.
As long as you're aware you gave all you could.
