The Open Sea
I set sail one day,
Across the open sea.
Leaving behind the life I knew,
Desperate to escape my misery.
But the sea is a beast,
Not meant for those unsure.
And it cannot be traversed
By men of innocent demure.
So much time
I've been lost at sea.
So much time
I've been tired, cold, and hungry.
I'm tired of living
On this sea of despair.
Tired of the storms,
And the mental warfare.
I feel so cold,
As cold as ice.
My soul grows dark,
The eternal price.
I hunger for answers
To questions of myself.
A hunger that consumes
Every bit of my health.
For one tiny moment,
A moment of clarity,
The waves and the storms
Remain calm for me.
But the days and weeks
And months on these waves,
Have taught me a lesson,
The seas are of constant change.
