my heart is a raft lost in an ocean of sadness.
my anger is the storm closing in and
my thoughts are too heavy for this little raft to carry
for much longer.
i’ve spent years trying to pull myself to shore
only to be overcome by violent waves that push
me back out into the vast sea yet again.
soon this ocean of sadness will consume me
and i won’t fight it anymore.
i have been fighting for too long and i am tired.
i want to go home.
there’s got to be a home waiting for me on the other side.
