Sinking Into Oblivion

I feel like a lost ship in a stormy ocean- Defenseless, friendless Deaf ears are all around. The tears I shed flood the water around me That will surely lead to my demise. Sinking lower and lower, beneath The dark depths of a dark empty pool No light in sight, and no hand to Extend and pull me from the swell The friendly faces that once were Are faded and jaded, unrecognizeable You should be so proud Do you stand taller now than The rest of the fleet? Surely when You look in the mirror you must Envious of your visions, I am not Disrupted by the wall of water I am And you are afraid of what? Lone sailor- A forbidden ocean? You are unjust! But too proud to recognize The weakness within yourself!
