A As the waves crash along the rocks,
B Below the foams of the ocean, with life that,
C Calls out to me, and saves me from the thoughts in my head,
D Darkening my imagination from reality when,
E Every outcome and possibility are flying at me,
F Following my every movement,
G Giving me this feeling of discomfort,
H Holding me back from my future, and my dreams,
I I try to get away from the fact that I am trying to survive,
J Just let me survive through the rest of the day,
K Keep me from laying on my deathbed that my mind has made for me,
L Let me open my heart to other people so that,
M My mind does not die out,
N Now help me find comfort, and reassur- ance,
O Only my mind is holding the rest of me hostage,
P Please save me from my mind of dark- ness, and fire so that I do not,
Q Question my existence,
R Release me from my mind, and soul,
S So that I can be free from my dark and evil ways,
T To show people that I care,
U Use me to show people that they can change,
V Visit me when you can so that I will know who I am,
W Why do I have to be so dark, and closed off,
X X-ing myself out of conversations,
Mind of Darkness By Lillian Ware
Y You need to save me just like people save,
Z Zebras from going extinct
