Ocean Aficionado

Truthfully,
I struggle to be free.
Unbearably,
Some strive to see a sinking sea.

Anger wraps around my shoulder.
I pray; I don’t get bolder.
The world, estranged, keeps getting colder.
It’s been forever; I’m still a sailor.

Curiously,
I’ve been chained in eternity.
Amazingly,
They die in an ocean of uncertainty.

Sails descend upon my shoulder.
I pray I won’t get bolder.
The world, afflicted, stares in wonder.
It’ll be forever; I’ll be a sailor.
