Beached Whale

Im like a whale Beached on your sand I was too stupid to know I wasn’t meant for land That evolution doenst happened As fast as you planned That when you saw me out of water I was too big so you ran Im left staring at your footsteps Imprinted on the sand. Remember how I was big enough To carry you across the sea You were my Jonah when you needed me I became your bridge To take you from point A to point B But Ive drawn a line in the sand That your bridge wont cross Because when you share the same land You share it for all that it cost You pried me open But my pearl was too stained From the last time I was opened And left out in the rain Im not a bookend My only role isn’t your support I had imagined we were like two sticks Propped together Able to stand in the wildest of weather For even man can stand on two legs When hes not sober As long as he as the other He might sway but he wont fall over It takes two to tango It takes two to fight Yin and yang still need each other Even though they are black and white I guess the point of this poem Is I cant run a two legged race Without your legs And Ill never get to the place Where you want me to be If your not willing to lend a little of your support to me
