I’m lost at sea I can’t seem to find my bearings

Choking from heat exhaustion seconds from not caring

No matter what heading I steer I’m still off course

Mysteriously looking for a mermaid on a tropical seahorse

Everywhere I stare my surroundings are so rough

Sucked into a hurricane just staying afloat isn’t enough

Tangled feelings tornado through my aquarium mind

Just peaceful and calm waters is all I’m seeking to find

My vessel is nothing more than a rollercoaster of emotion

Vanished in a twisted indecisive rip current of an ocean

I’m like a sailor alone on a life raft waiting for eternity

In total darkness with just the sky water and my destiny

The longer I’m buoyant the more pain I have to endure

I wipe the sweat from by brow and stop thinking impure

I’m stead fast plowing the big swell one after one

At what point and when will this treacherous storm be done

This is an all out battle deploying every tooth and nail

Dangerous fronts have plunged too much wind in my sail

Utterly fatigued I have endured all of this bad weather

Rainbows of light have to prevail for storms don’t last forever

I’m trying to stick this one out through thick and thin

For it’s something I love and don’t want this to ever end

But at what point do you just give up and let what is be

This is my story from being a lost vessel in a vast sea
