Journey's End
Sailing on a stormy sea
With the acceptance
That I’m not in control,
No idea where this is going to end
A free spirited roam
Over waves
Slipping and sliding,
Struggling to stay adrift
Gulping salty water
As soon as I enter
The fear of drowning
Being my only thought
Visions of my life gone by
Is replaying itself in my mind
The feeling of not being ready
Not being able
To let go is overwhelming
I still need to find my niche
I still need to tell people
I love them
I still need to stand
On top of that mountain
Look down and say: ‘I’ve made it”
Gasping for air
Frantically waving my arms
Hoping and praying
Someone will see me
My last thought as I drift
Further and
Further…
