Love and Beauty

Grip

Happy is my heart, my soul, my mind;
however,
the mind is a powerful tool.

Like waves
crashing against the ocean's shore,
the mind—giving no warning—can crush your soul.

Powerful enough to make you feel as though you can't be
stopped;
yet,
at the same time, the mind can keep you

stranded. . .

motionless. . .afraid.

This, sadly, is the state my mind has me in:
the more I think
the tighter its grip on me,
pulling me into darkness.

It's an ironic thing, the mind:
knowing it's the only element that can free me from the depths it put me in.

I will break free, though—and soon!

My love is on the other side.
I won't keep her waiting.
