Drowning
Safely, Sail safely
I care not for the wisdom of the world
Maybe, just maybe
The waves will drag me down in their curls
This flimsy raft I have built
Should not have set sail
With the weight of my guilt
Heavy hearts are causing me sink
As I drift into the saline brine
A distant light is is just beginning to shine
I waft effortlessly as it begins to shrink
For fear of losing the sun
I dare not blink
My final memories of laying down
I did not intend to drown
Though I always find myself
Gasping for air
Swimming through the thoughts
I wish were not there
