I Just Don't Know

B. Rabbit

I drop anchors
To keep me from being
Swept out into 
The Lonely Sea

But all my chains break
And the tide pulls my craft
The storm clouds roll in
Lightning cracks

All these things
That held me in place
Gone. Now I drift
In this lonesome space

I can see where the Sun shines
I can watch others sail free
But I alone am stuck here
In a whirlpool of misery.

My emotions spiral
My tears overflow
I'm overwhelmed by the tides
But I can't let it show

I struggle to keep my craft from going down
But maybe it wouldn't be so bad to drown...

My grip on the wheel
Loosens...then fails
I let the sea take me
Swallow my masts and sails

Down with my vessel
Sinking below
Into the depths
Of my grave I go...
