The sea calls me,
and nothing can stop
the unfurling of sails,
I am a sea-boat captain,
exploring the dark waters,
scouting for whales,
new country to see,
new shores to step upon,
a daunting shipwreck
will not keep me down,
I did not give up,
yet nearly drown.
Don't hold the past so tightly,
it will always let you down,
don't tread the water without direction,
sink in,
prepare for the long hall,
and set sights for salvation's shore,
life does not end with tragedy,
trust me darling there is more!
There is more!
The sea calls me,
and nothing can stop
the break of new day,
I am a sea-boat captain,
shouting to the heavens,
Anchors aweigh!
Anchor aweigh!
Freedom is calling,
calling "Anchors aweigh!"

I realized a few days ago that I was finally over my ex. And it felt good to be free. This term Anchors aweigh, is often misunderstood for Anchors away. It means to set out for sea, not drop an anchor. Sometimes we get stuck on the things that anchored us in life, and when they cause more harm than good, its critical we choose to press on instead of sink.
