I have finally mapped my mind completely!! For years I have been trying to find the perfect metaphorical description of my mind, and I have finally found it. An ocean. For those of you who haven't been following my poems in the last three days, this is for you. I describe my mind as an ocean, the shallow parts being the more day to day thoughts I have and thoughts that occur to me often. The deep parts are the places I go only when I need to, or feel like it. The deeps are dark and full of places I have not yet discovered.
I describe my thoughts and feelings and ideals as different types of sea creatures. Ideas and thoughts I picture as fish. I describe beliefs as coral reefs, for my beliefs are not set in stone, but are hard to change, at least for me. I have not found a way to describe my feelings.Maybe they can be fish too?
It is hard to describe the deeps, for I do not go to these very often. However, I have experienced some of these deep thoughts. Many of them, if I were to describe them, would look like giant, complex organisms that look to be a little like eels. Some of these eels are very bad thoughts, that seem to take the shape of barracudas or some other form of aggressive, carnivorous thing. I know deep down that there are thoughts in the deeps I have yet to discover, some that look unlike anything I have ever imagined.
I know this sound boring to you...but I just had to write it down and share it with you guys. It's very refreshing!!
