Ship
My mind is like a ship
Slowly rocking at sea
The blue waves so peaceful
I can see miles ahead
I have a plan
I’m following a map
But then comes the storm
The wind, the fog, the uncontrollable rocking that won’t stop
The ship that is my mind is going down
The storms name is anxiety
And he brought his friends
The whole nine yards here to bring me down
I’m lost
I’m drowning
Someone just help me
But I am in the storm
The fog, the rain
A tiny boat in the ocean
I will never be found
I will always be lost
I think about jumping
The cold water on my face as I drown into obscurity
But I sit and wait
I’d rather wait forever for someone to come
Than leave them behind.
