Chaos of the Mind

I believe that the mind is a fickle thing. Every day you have access to a compendium of thoughts and words that at some point could be likened to sharks and killer whales. Some thoughts prevail over others; sharks eat other sharks and become the last shark standing. We sit there in our own ocean of emotions and feelings, words and sentences, and watch as they cannibalize themselves into a never-ending loop. This piece, to me, feels like an ode to the cannibalistic nature of our own thoughts. How most do almost nothing to break the cycle of eating and being eaten.
