Paper Boat

put in paper and let it sail into the ocean and open sea
see how your troubles drift free feel your emotions entangling
drowning in sorrow will only deepen the blow and the harder to surfs
its hard to see when it is pitch black deeper to a emerge dry standing
on ones own to feet balance UN steady not at all ready for the wind blows 
and the moon glows on a clear blue sea wide high as the waves flow 
drifting sand taking me away as i lay blind sided by the waves current motion
putting myself as this paper still intact not yet braking apart floating 
day by day i say may the moon and the sun guide my way to a better place 
were i dont have to race with a straight face the clouds are forming and the rain is about to fall 
so i put up the walls to keep out the stress that invades my space full of gray sparkling rays 
racing up and down my spine giving me mix vibes saying bye to the paper years of tears 
full of fear of the storm forming it self into a massive hurricane ready to swim and not sink 
in a blink of in eye the ink will dry the paper will brake taking all negativity leaving posterity between me myself i so i swim as of not to drown drinking a string of broken emotions letting it flow away from me cleansing my soul free so i can get back and land on my own two feet drifting all odds in my high and lows i will still grow old to see the spread of the sea weed among crystal clear ocean
