1.

Can’t seem to find my way out of this

I try and try but the waves keep crashing

All around me-

Making my efforts vain

The tide is high, has been for a while

Doesn’t give any sign of relenting soon

Drowning is not an option, but how do I keep up?

How much longer can I stay afloat?

I need a hold. Something I can grab onto

That will right my world

That will shun the storm into the background

That will make it all a dull memory and just

Bring me hope, joy, peace

… love?
