Mac In Hell, Age 19

Amidst the sea of confusion
with the constant battering waves of of remorse
Compass and ship swirling freely
Renderling it
pathetic and and weak
All faith and hope lost in the tide
Survival, bleak
But then 
a light
it pierced the sky
Giving strength and security
upon a mountain high
guide me to your fortress
release me from this tide of blue
give me your hand to grab onto

Lead me home to you..

very stirring. like how did this happen. the energy to waste on a hard and dull life when it could be destined for any thing in this whole wide world. it takes effort to throw potential away and it is painful to be a parent that sees exactly what is going on....."release me from this tide of blue and give me your hand... lead me home to you. love sometimes cripples those we love the most.
