It's Monday night
and I'm floating again
in the middle of an ocean
and I can't see the shore

I look up at the stars
(I can see thousands tonight)
and I'm not sure
I'm in the right place
anymore.

I'm grasping at anything
--I have to move somewhere--
and it's slipping through
my fingers
I just can't see the reason
of staying here anymore
when surely I'll drown
but I can't go anywhere else
so I wait for the current

It's Monday night
and I'm floating again
but this time I'm stranded
(in reference to my first poem posted on Hello Poetry, Floating)
