sailboats

I use the metaphor of sailing, check it out

And so i built a ship

with a hull of forgotten dreams

and a sail of shattered promises

that I gave a name of truth

Its not long until

I weigh anchor and set sail

away from this lonely place

this personal island of hell

My destination, yet unknown

my intentions, still in question

my madness, the only truth

the rough Seas of Sorrow

dash, bash, and toss

this vessel in every direction

as i alone fight through

the storms of self-doubt

yet when daylight breaks

and the storm subsides

bringing calm to the sea

and the clearing of the skies

I gaze out over the horizon

and see a new land

one of promise and hope

a twist of the large wheel

and a direction changed

steering myself to happiness

though now that i see the port

and the people lined up on the dock

I realize my ship was aptly named

"the last chance"
