are any of you lost at sea?
I am. I haven't set sail yet, and I've already lost my way.
I've had older sailors tell me that it's too early to be lost,
but that opinion isn't a guide; it doesn't matter what they say.
I used to have a map, but it wasn't finished.
I wrote it as a child, dreaming of stars.
the direction of the map has completely diminished.
now, all I know is that I can't stop trying.
if I lose momentum now, I'll sink and never surface.
all I have is hope that I'll find where I'm going without crying.
all I have is hope that I'll find where I'm going without crying never-ending tears that flood my ship.
