The world has given
a lot of things for metaphor

The desert's dry barren ways
with oasis every certain degree of a turn
a mirage that elludes, distracts
one step forward and two back

The ocean's beauty, captivity
freeing and expressing, pushing
dark caverns only the dangerous enough
can explore, submarines and
scuba gear not yet strong to endure

The antarctic that freezebites
those who underestimate and suffocates
who over prepare, overthink
white - so much white - can
make a man go insane
all that is left within selfdoubting blame

The tropical jungles' endlessness
the danger so imminent
emotion provoked so raw and indigenous
instinctual carefulness required
some men make traps but some
found ways to set themselves on fire

A mild tempered calamity crosses my mind
my location is nothing as extreme
I try to find some place where
you most likely seemed to be

I soon prepare for finale of nothing
a very anticlimactic scheme
as I recognize you and yourself
not complemented by nature enough
to be a part of her more intense scenes

Here you are down on your knees again,
and just when you learned how to breathe again,
but now here you sit, slowly suffocating in your misery,

What can one do to help you,
please tell me what you'd like me to do,
I'd love to make the pain disappear,
show you that theres nothing left to fear,

You've made a habit of hiding from your shadow,
instead of casting light on the real problem,
which is your inability to see, that help is availible, if you'd only accept the help your given,
maybe you should turn to your loved ones, instead of turning to religion,

For what is religion,
but one more thing to disagree about,
for everyone has something to believe,
but almost no one believes the same thing,
hence the problem with religion,
I just may give it up all together,
for theres no point,
in complicating my life,
with unnecissary beliefs,
in which almost no one would agree with,

Am I rambling, or actually speaking clearly?
and even if I am speaking clearly,
I doubt you hear me,
because you don't listen to anyone who could prove you wrong,
and that my dear, is exactly what I've done,
made it clear to see, that in reality,
the real problem is standing right in front of me,
and its the same person, I know as you,

Pain is avoidable,
when you don't make it harder on yourself,
for no ******* reason,

Oh,
or is it just that you want ******* attention?
About a certain someone..
