body raft

by latinwaters

I am constantly stuck in a place between awake and sleep And it makes me wonder How I ended up here And when I arrived I am constantly interrogated by the sound and motion of my thoughts Mainly where I am questioning why the change of heart Or lack thereof And why I was sentenced to confinement when proved innocent These continuous motions have left me seasick Ever since you took the map and made me walk the plank And watched along with your pioneers As their waves crashed into your brain When you saw it as a cleansing And welcomed it Like you assured with my trust Between your silence and your actions The only difference is the volumes Within your actions They could crack sidewalks Keeping afloat on my back Something not so uncommon I am straying away from your vessel Slowly but surely Where I can be found between your constant state of awake and sleep.
