Expendable
The earth rumbles amidst my core
Hurled miles away from the shore
My hand reaches out to no avail
I start to doubt the wind in our sails
The thread that ties us always seemed one sided
Or was it my anxiety and paranoia to which I always abided?
Was my pathological people pleasing an imposition?
Always running down hallways searching for a physician
Replaced and forgotten, you never think about me
So I focus on ambitions to delude myself that I’m “free”
Countless attempts to rebel against who I was to get to where I need to be
But I’m always adrift, always lost at sea
