Relief

So close to where I want The vision seems to haunt Being so near leaves it's scar So close , yet so far I stuck to my belief Now I need some relief I look to the sea I need to be free I'm on the edge of the dream It's harder than it may seem To feel so much I almost lose touch Which emotions are mine I need to shine Take back what is mine Sometimes around People cry without a sound Get out of my mind Silence I need to find Leave this all behind Yet , I'm stuck Have I ran out of luck Everybody's pain Can drive one insane I haven't ran far enough I need to remain tough Even though it's rough I shouldn't care But it's most unfair Maybe in the middle of the sea Maybe then I'll finally be free

Lived on a sailboat 3 years. Pirate, poet Now just travel gathering camping supplies and handing them out to the homeless. Had a heart attack so taking a year off. Then back on the road. Helping my fellow humans. If we don't, who will My goal make everyone's life I past better Which means I'm usually homeless myself. Then I hide from the world and write Eight books. Just to burn them Lol I'm crazy , but accept it Love is the answer. I really believe this. Part of my crazy maybe don't care
