I am a paper sailboat
Floating
On the ocean
Of emotion
And these pebbles
Of guilt
And loss
Fret
And regret
Weigh me down
And I sink
A little deeper
With each one
I take on
I drink
A little deeper
With each one
I take in
What if I exhale
Fully
And the breath
Of life
Never returns
To me?
What if I stop pushing
Forward
And just be
Will the rabid dogs
Of despair
Overwhelm me?
I don’t know
So
I keep sailing
Carrying
These rocks
Trying my best
To see
That they are a part of me
That I am a part of this sea
And redemption
Comes
When I release
Relax
And let it
Engulf
Carry
Or Eat
Me
