Jan 2018
I’ve sailed towards freedom
A lifetime it seems
But only manage to arrive
Only in my dreams

Stranded in this place
Like a ship on a reef
Held fast in the embrace
Of heartache and grief

Unable to pull free
From its iron tight grip
Trapped in the misery
On my now sinking ship

Desperation and anguish
Washes over my face
My hope starts to languish
On my voyage to this Imaginary place

I’m a mariner who’s out of sort
Traversing this turbulent sea
Searching for the nearest port
Where I can finally be free
