I became so young
and wished away the stars
my son had become
the equal of his peers
in that moment I felt scared
for him
disposed to an unnatural feeling
that I could not control

As I walked across the ocean
and evolved with every sudden step
snapped at every single being
man I told you
I tried to take control
it was too late and I was
frozen in this nothingness
I felt scared to never leave

An allegorical tale
suddenly frail
another sail
out in the wind
I prepare to bail

Am I pushing you away
I am trudging in the depths
and still I’m scared
rushing up to me
so vibrantly
and I start to fall
afraid of what may come

A shiver in the light
a darkening so bright
the night bring things
that are ugly for the naked eye
a triad disposed to a sudden gap
a single neutron being stuck in a timeline
that is making me sick
I can’t move one
a watcher and
a disposer of papers
that I can’t sign
a freshening cut
begging to bleed
oh, I wish I could heal
another one gone by

An allegorical tale
suddenly frail
another sail
out in the wind
I prepare to bail

I sit by my watch-out
and think I am about to reach it
someone is in the way
I can’t seem to break
and bend at the word
and I am scared
stuck in what ever you may think
of a juxtaposed situation
that I need to talk
to someone about
but I am scared

Am I waiting for nothing?
Can’t I just walk away?
This place that I can’t explain
has told me which
what way is which
the only reason
I am staying
waving goodbye
saying hello
to goodbye
and I
slip away
from what
you never say

An allegorical tale
suddenly frail
another sail
out in the wind
I prepare to bail

A man is standing in a rough ocean surf, waves are breaking all around him.
