I am a floating log I go where the waves take me I still when they still And I rise and fall with them I sink under water when the waves become turbulent I am turbulent with them I am hurtled left, right and under I am drenched and drowned I am calm when the water has mercy I am nothing I want nothing I am but a piece of wood from a shipwreck I am not human I cannot be human For humans feel, and I cannot feel after this shipwreck I can’t let the waves wreck me from the inside out I’ll let them wreck me from the outside in Either way, there is no control I am a log, i am a log, i am a log I do not feel pain I cannot be human But I am wrecked all over anyways Scratched and peeling And I am alone in the wreckage That turned me inside out and hurtled me left, right and under And I cannot go back to a time, of smooth sails and calm waters.

Grief
I am a floating log I go where the waves take me I still when they still And I rise and fall with them I sink under water when the waves become turbulent I am turbulent with them I am hurtled left, right and under I am drenched and drowned I am calm when the water has mercy I am nothing I want nothing I am but a piece of wood from a shipwreck I am not human I cannot be human For humans feel, and I cannot feel after this shipwreck I can’t let the waves wreck me from the inside out I’ll let them wreck me from the outside in Either way, there is no control I am a log, i am a log, i am a log I do not feel pain I cannot be human But I am wrecked all over anyways Scratched and peeling And I am alone in the wreckage That turned me inside out and hurtled me left, right and under And I cannot go back to a time, of smooth sails and calm waters.
