Ocean

The sun was in clouds

the sun looked down

saw its only pet, the ocean sound

the beach is always packed in leash

but the ocean, as always, will be free

tangible to the eye, intangible to the mind

thoughts provoked, and memory on riot

the ocean is vast, and the past behind

the ocean is inside, and just a line

the roaring so vast, that it seems silent

and everything else, is temporarily blinded

how can something have no future, present, or past?

that's so beautiful....

i want to know the ocean....

and i want to ride the waves....

went to the beach today had some cloud talk there. wrote this for the ocean, your mind's big brother. think about it.... you won't will you..... well don't.... but think about it if you want to.... anyway, the sun is shining and im standing by my beliefs. that night i got so pissed at brad that i said things i didnt mean. i forgot i dont believe in love or relationships or all of it. it always turns out fake to me. and i stood the test, in my view. im not going to prom. and maybe it was just as friends but still its the whole concept i deny. people think that the concept exists but for it to exist someone has to think about other people before they think of themselves. and thats too hard for almost everybody.

You could believe me, you don’t have to. They probably won’t change, unless you make them. The best way to change something around you, something you don’t like, is.. to change yourself. I don’t think you want other people changing you.. I think.. I think.. the only person you want changing you… is yourself. So if you ain’t happy…. If you’re reading magazines about generation x’s and thinking ‘ya im one of them’ well fuck that…. Don’t let anybody tell you who you are. No… No…. No one can tell me who I am. I can tell you who I am but that would be a long story… I can tell you who I am and it wouldn’t fit in a Rolling Stone…. It wouldn’t fit in a video… it wouldn’t… its my life…. Its your life. Youre the only one that knows who you are. I hope you know who you are. If you don’t know who you are, figure it out. Cause you are some body. And Im probably stating the obvious. But I just thought I would do it anyway. So if you fell like you got a piece of duct tape on your mouth, if you feel like you cant speak. Take it off, Speak up. Speak your Mind. Shout it Out.

    OCEAN....ah I love the ocean...very nice poem. Maybe you need to find something that is as real as the ocean is to you. Something you can touch, smell, taste...and believe in. I'm sure your wave will one day come in.
    Only with our eyes closed can we truly see

    I wish I lived by the ocean. To have the ability to just sit there and watch it.

    Continuing like the waters on the shore
    Once you watched you understood more
    The waves rise up and are never the same
    I see new circles in the water’s blue veins
    I feel a new sensation I hear a new sound
    Unspoken words within a soul true meaning not heard yet found

    Sorry dude. I'm new at this computer stuff. I pressed the button for quote and added a few words. My few words didn't show up. Again,sorry.

    I was saying how much I would love to live by the ocean. You are so lucky. We vacation where there is an ocean most of the time. But that is nothing like slipping on your shoes and going to the beach whenever you like.

    Have a good one.

    Feel free to tell me how to quote and add what I would like to say to my next post.
    Thanks.
