What The Ocean Does

take in that wind
who was i but who i was within?
when the sun starts to set
that is when i forget
i begin to be better and let go of such things
of nothing that don't even matter but dug me
the ditch that i had to climb out of
life is a bitch and she's quick, she can out run
your happiness faster than happiness ever is found
and you smile no more
when you're back on the ground
what to do, what to say, when to sleep, when to pray
when to wish that the whole world would just go away
when it hurts i just think of the beach
and that's when my struggle gives way to my peace
