Descent

The mind is an ocean of sanity with streams of thought. Your feet might not always find ground. Ergo, keep your floating thoughts tethered, but not to the layers of your sanity.

There hasn't been much said about the emotions
that spill out when the mind is a placid ocean,
the very emotions that torch the thoughts
but make you suffer aneurysmal clots
thoughts that force down your
opinions—against or in for
and thoughts, mostly that
dwindle or spiral flat
but you've known
they have flown
so what's left?
Isolation
Despair
Misery
Doubt
Self
Ego
