Once again

Still lost at sea

Amongst the mess

Of floating debris

Capable of swimming

But afraid to drown

If I stop

How long till I’m found

I can wait no longer

Something must happen

Time to start now

And get the arms flappin

If it’s fear that holds me back

Why can’t I produce what I lack

The confidence is there,

Has always been

What stops me now

What wears me thin

Questions questions

And lots of them

Here’s to hoping

Answers lie in the pen

The words they flow

Right from the heart

Or is it the brain

Who knows where they start

Simple metaphors

Not formulating

Every other thought

Of fornicating

Sex and fear

And fear and sex

Mix in a little

Anguish and distress

I feel I’ve drifted

Too far from land

No compass no map

No sight of sand

But I shall carry on

Perseverance is a must

I will not be left stranded

A memory in the dust
