Message Lost
This internal conflict
I cannot fight
This is not black and white
This unreasoned spite
I cannot get through
I have tried
This message lost too,
lost in the deep wide
Two forces collide,
the pieces scattered
far and wide
Years to track down what mattered
This restless angry sea
throws its might at me
Waves of emotion
Seething ocean
What can I repair?
This loss of tranquillity
It is so unfair!
Am I losing my sensibility?
Is this damage done?
Have I lost a son?
Has the restless angry sea won?
The lost message,
floating on angry restless sea
It must be me
The things I might have done,
to make me think
Before I sink
Before my son
I cannot get through
He won't let me too
Rising sea,
beating its waves on me
This storm must stop
I am ready to drop
Seething sea,
throwing its'self at me
Waves of emotion
Restless ocean
This conflict I cannot fight,
peace is a right
This restless angry sea,
upon storm tossed message
that is me
