I am at sea few times
when I sit down to ponder what life is
the ups and downs I battle to stay sane
every adventure isn’t worth the risk
these battles were never mine to be won

I am at sea sometimes
when I look back at the years I’ve wasted
heart broken and eye fluids drained
lovers come and lovers go with a core piece of me
then I am left with nothing but a template

I am at sea most times
when I try to resist urges surging
temptations befuddles my thoughts in anarchy
me praying for grace to pass this phase
it’s a shame I have to tread this lane

I am at sea often times
when life constantly gives me no option
wanting me to make lemonade without lemon
this cross I’m compelled to carry
unreciprocated love I’m forced to marry

I am at sea most times
sleep helps me switch off reality
the world only offers pains, torments and tribulations
can you allow me to die in my sleep?
so I can dwell in my dreams in peace
