Everyone always tells you to never turn your back on the ocean
Nobody ever tells you to never turn your back on your mind
Your mind has waves too
Big black swells that will sneak up on you as soon as you turn away
Dark depths that will hold you under until you can't breathe and can't think and you'll struggle against anything and anyone who comes near you in an attempt to reach the surface 
Nobody ever tells you about the riptides that live among you and talk with you 
They wait to drag you down to the waves as soon as you think they're harmless
Feel that ache in your chest?
That's your soul curling up to hide inside you and your lungs striving for air 
Those voices that never leave your head?
They're here to stay 
That trapped feeling that crowds in on you until you want to tear away invisible chains and run through the night?
Good luck with that 
Be sure to watch for waves 
And learn how to swim
