The Lost Sailor
I’m a sailor lost at sea
In the sea of my own mind
You see, I have refused reality
and substituted by own
For the sole purpose of protecting my sanity,
And to stop the pain I haven’t shown.
The waves they crash all around me
They roar louder than the biggest lion
Louder than the loudest siren
And it’s giving me a migrane
Someone please relieve me of this pain!
All of my thoughts are screaming at me all at once
I can’t hold on to one coherent thought.
Through the pain and the suffering I have learned one thing.
All of these messed up things won’t seem so messed up once they’re cleaned up.
And that’s a fact.
Because I’ve lived it once,
And I’m fighting again
But I’ll keep fighting, friend.
I’ve gotten too far now
To stop or slow down
Ain’t going back to where I began
It’s a dark place in my past that I refuse to visit again.
I’m stronger than that
And I won’t back down
I’ve got too much to lose this time around.
So here we go
Back to war
The fight is on
I’m fighting for the quiet mind I once had
I’m fighting for my peace and sanity, lad.
I’m on this journey alone
But I can make it through this
And soon I’ll be sitting by the throne
Of the one true Father of mine
That was there by my side
Through the high and low tide.
I shiver as you whisper in my ear
“You are mine”
And he is right.
I am his
Nothing will ever harm me,
Because I am his child, you see?
I’ve learned through years of experience
To trust wholly, love sincerely, live happy.
A loss of love
cannot hinder me from the treasures that await me
I’m a lost sailor, and with Him
I’m finding my way.
