The Anchor and Contaminator

You're the anchor of my mental health
contaminating the sea I'm in 

a place where ecosystems fail 
there is no life, my skin's rusting 

you don't believe my boat can sail 
instead a rust as rot seeps in

for now untraveled and still new 
a prisoner to shallow thinking 

and there is no changing you 
wanting me stuck slowly sinking 

I'm will explore the oceans blue 
away from you, your lies and drinking 

I see you a contaminator 
goodbye mother, I'll see you later
