Resilience

In the stormy sea, barely alive
I manage to stay afloat
Sometimes going under, sometimes catching sight of land
Yes, stormy seas make strong sailors, 
or, drown sailors
I make it to shore, bruised and battered, 
and crawl my way out
I sit here and watch the sun rise
I begin to feel the warmth from the rays

Breakup - Pining For Empty

The sun shines briefly then disappears
Taking my mood with it
Breadcrumbs of hope dissipate as hours tick by 
disappointment kicks in again
I want to be excited about something
Not always fighting to survive
I will only tolerate the burn for so long
Before I put out the flame
