Ocean of Doubt
I felt adrift In this mindless ocean Each wave a voice Begging me to listen They urged me to chase Riches and fame That these would be The antidote to my shame I drowned in this cacophony Of utter nonsense Each wave driven By a desire for profits So in the depths I quietened my… Continue reading
