Ghost

How I've been feeling lately.

I'm a heavy anchor on this ship
This ship I call my self
Weighing all the past decisions
Decisions I wish I could rip.

There's a heavy burden to burn
But the flames seem to die
Die from the violent rains
Rain that never seems to turn

Right from wrong, I'm a shadow
A lifeless light that's fading
Fading into the pitch darkness
Darkness that only seems to follow

I'm a ghost on this wrecked ship
This ship inside my head
Sinking deeper as I reach out
Your hands, far away from my grip.

Interesting. I like the rhyme scheme on this. You don't normally see it. Also, are you referring to the ghost ,possibly, as being your ambitions and what you want out of life?

Thanks :)
And yes and no at the same time. Mainly what I see in myself, having doubts and being skeptical. My self power on what to control and how to control it basically.

Oh, I see. Clever wording. I think that sheds some light on the poem. Keep it up.
