When I was younger, it felt like i could change reality if i dreamed hard enough,
At night, as i drift to sleep beneath the glow of liquid crystal,
My thoughts would culture and bead,
rolling from my eyes into the ocean of stars
And somewhere among those shining isles,
a pearl would drop,
And offer an escape from this isolation.

What tide will deliver me from these woes?
What wailing moans will quiet the seas of discontent?
I prayed for a drop and was given an ocean
crashing down across this face.
