My mind is an ocean,

Flowing and moving.

Ebbs and tides,

All colliding.

This leaves my head spinning.

My heart is now rapidly beating.

Even though I'm not spinning!

My head feels dizzy. 

My steps become ditzy.

Everything no longer makes sense.

This is my mind,

A gigant contradiction.

Always in motion.

Even when I’m sitting.

Why o’ why does my world,

Never quit ticking?

My clock was never set.

Is it at the right time?

I don’t know direction.

I get lost like a dime.

Dropped from the pockets,

 of an unlucky guy.

This is my mind.

It's always flowing and spinning.

Just like the tide.

Ebbing and flowing.

My mind is an ocean.

How can I get by?

I can never remember what I need to remember or do what I need to do. I normaly feel like I am going crazy, so I wrote a poem about it.

I like the metaphor of the mind being an ocean.
