im standing alone on a dark beach, looking out amongest the seas, feeling the sand beneath my feet, the hands of lonliness beginning to squeeze. im walking now with my arms stretched out, the noise of silence begins to shout, with sounds of confusion mixed with doubt, i look right up at the face of black clouds. the clouds stare back with devilish eyes, im looking farther away with every try, but they are still laughing while they criticize, a distant voice calls, this i realize. i turn around to see nothing but hills, nothing but silence, depression, and everything still, im scared and my emotions are tied like hay at a mill, trapped in a box and forced to hold still. im running now, just as fast as i can when all of a sudden i come to a man, he starts talking too soft for me to undertsand, and he knocks me to my knees by the touch of a hand. im kneeling, the feeling of pounds on my shoulders, feeling the years pass as i get older, and the air seems to get even colder, being brought down by the weight of a boulder. i lay on my back while down my cheeks come tears, tears full of sadness, tears full of fears, but then, i watch the evil night clear, behind the hills as it dissappears. so, as i get up, climbing to my feet, a beatiful woman approaches me, she turns me to see the sun gleam, and the evil behind me, with an ocean in between.
