Ocean of Thoughts

Five years I was tormented
Of dreams not of my own
But now I’ve gained liberty
Freedom from their control

Five years I was restrained
In heart, in mind, in writing
But in those five years
I have also grown,
Gained knowledge
And expertise

The first few years were a blessing
And hardships were at the remaining
For mentors that come and go
Replaced with the not so great along

It wasn’t what it used to be
So I needed to leave
For the sake of life and liberty
Because kindness is no longer here
