Sometimes I feel I'm on a boat,
Floating far away..
But then my boat is tied to a pole,
Urging me to stay..
Stay and face the future,
Stay and face the past..
But I want to set sail again,
So I open up the mast..
I untie the sturdy rope,
For a journey out to a vacant sea..
A journey of peace and quiet,
A journey just with me..
But nightmares come,
While reflections float by,
I realize I'm in trouble,
I have to break away and try..
Try to get back,
So my family can find me,
Back to the world,
I don’t need to flee!
No more dreaming,
No more missing you,
I want to get better,
That's all I want to do..
But now I'm trapped,
I can't get back,
I watch my world,
Fade to black…
Floating far away..
But then my boat is tied to a pole,
Urging me to stay..
Stay and face the future,
Stay and face the past..
But I want to set sail again,
So I open up the mast..
I untie the sturdy rope,
For a journey out to a vacant sea..
A journey of peace and quiet,
A journey just with me..
But nightmares come,
While reflections float by,
I realize I'm in trouble,
I have to break away and try..
Try to get back,
So my family can find me,
Back to the world,
I don’t need to flee!
No more dreaming,
No more missing you,
I want to get better,
That's all I want to do..
But now I'm trapped,
I can't get back,
I watch my world,
Fade to black…

Just to add to this, the sea is a dark place at night, this is good at explaining troubled emotions. Well written. Blessings.

lovely reflections, beautiful to read

I have felt the same--fading to black, but thank GOD it passed. It is a dangerous place to be where even decision making is affected,
A very good, enlightened write.
