Keep going.


It is the things you cannot see coming
that are strong enough to kill you.
What limits us? Is it the fact that we believe
what is considered the norm,
and not try to rise above it?
I witnessed what I once thought was a
superficial world existing amidst a
terrorizing reality, and
I couldn't move.
Sleek sharks floated around,
Graceful terrifying beings.
Lost, I felt lost among them,
a bundle of messed up emotions.
Reality appeared distorted by the
imperfections of my senses.
But I know I saw those sharks in the forest.
And I know you won't understand,
Doctor.
