Lying Lifeless

Lying lifeless on the shore of a beach
I wonder who used me as protection

On million waves, I travelled across
The journey very few will understand

The heat of the sand is no better
Than the darkness of the sea 

Is this my destiny, lying on the seashore and
Waiting for someone to pick me up

I don't mind if put in a fish pot 
Inside, someone's house 

Pick me up, and listen to me.
I want you to hear my wants and desires.
