Ocean Currents

17 6 5
                                    

The currents of failure
Are amplified
And each method to forget
That I have tried
Is caught beneath the undertow
Of my mind
And as I struggle to the surface
Once again I find
That I never left the whirlpool
From which I fought so hard to be free
And the darkest recesses of myself
Crash down on me
Like the currents of an ocean.

Can one ever truly make a difference?
