The Anchor

Sometimes it's hard to pull yourself back up, and all you can do is hang on for dear life.

The sea sings its deadly song

And the water feels like ice

I can't be pulled in yet

I must pull through this tide

This chain holds me here 

Heavy, iron and rusty

I can't be pulled in yet

The whole crew needs me

It would be better to give up

The currents seemed to mock

I can't be pulled up yet

I must stay here locked

I feel warm hands

They lift me onto the side

Out of the waters I come

And wait for the very next night.
