This poem doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's full of metaphors and it shows how I have been feeling lately.
If I could cry a river
I'd want to drown myself in it,
but I'd probably just float,
because I always drift through the sea of life that way,
and I'm waiting for my rescue boat to come back
because it left me behind
in the pouring rain,
and I'm still watching for that rainbow
but it's hard to see when your head's in a cloud
and you're smothered so you can't breathe.
You know, sometimes I feel like St. Christopher with the weight of the world on my shoulders.
With no one to help me carry it
and it gets heavier each day.
Eventually it will push me down
and I'll drown in this sea,
without ever seeing another rainbow
or learning to breathe again.
