Staying Afloat

January 10, 2022

Sinking, struggling Trying to stay afloat I want so badly to close my eyes let it all go dark and give up

Nothing I used to love has any meaning anymore there’s no end to this only me and the sea and the endless dark

For a moment, I saw the light the sun broke the clouds And I felt its warmth on me again And for a time I had that light

That’s all gone now I have nothing else I took on too much and it destroyed the boat now the waves are all I have

What can I do now? What I’ve always done Struggle to stay afloat Because I have more than just the waves I have dreams

And I won’t let them die
