Mental waves
Mental waves crash against the shores of sanity
Eroding thoughts and memories slowly
Each memory like a grain of sand
Washed away with the receding tide
Their absence never recognized, individually
It is only when the numbers grow
That we begin to see the impact of the waves
As they continue to crash against the shores of sanity
About this poem
Just sitting here chilling and typed this up. It has been awhile since I have written anything. Appear to be a bit rusty.
