The Ocean Fear

by SantaFlaws

I fear the ocean. Fear the lack of life Fear the unknown sameness below Fear for myself, you see I've Given up on having company I'll sail alone for a while But I'll need water sometime Even though there's water for miles. Someone come aboard then. It's awfully lonely here. It's hard to sail alone you see And I haven't gotten over my fear, Fear of sinking some day Fear of waking up dead. When the ocean finally swallows me And overtakes the resistance in my head. Until then I'll resist. I'll hold out for my crew. Someday we'll sail together. Just.... Me and you. Yes we'll set sail for places That we've never seen before. So come aboard my friend, There's life on that distant shore.

Sometimes life just feels like the ocean. Water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.
