The Inevitable Realization
by Izmedu


Isolated in our shells of life, protected from death
We're born in this intrinsic belief


The world is our oyster
The ocean is limitless
Unbound, untamed, unlimited


As you grow older, all that seemed so pure, so infinite
Was a mere illusion inculcated by self-valorization


The world was my oyster
The ocean was limitless
Unbound, untamed, unlimited


In many ways, you realize you are part of a system
That is larger than you will ever hope to envisage


The world was never mine
The ocean is limitless
Unbound, untamed, unlimited


We're mere parts of a larger symphony of movement
All bound to each other as single droplets
Crashing and colliding with each other
Unbound, untamed, unlimited
To the extent in which we cooperate


You're 'a drop in the ocean' as they say
Not a singular being born out of cloth
But a moving part tethered to a limitless schema
Unbound, untamed, unlimited
To the extent in which you work within


This is a realization that dawns
In the moment you realize you are part of a larger whole
Like those large, sweeping, and majestic oceans
You feel bound, you feel choked, you feel... limited.
But... It's one of those inevitable realizations.


The world is ours
The ocean is limitless
Unbound, untamed, unlimited
