losing sight
losing direction
traveling so far.
shipwrecks and skeletons,
the compass is spinning
out of control.
standing on unstable ground,
faltering for breath...
slipping down the mast,
abandon ship.
missing pieces,
a shattered heart,
the black ink bleeding
from her veins...
words that never came out properly.
landmines within her chest,
set off by the slightest trigger,
the bullet of her own dreams.
fighting the system from within.
burn everything that was once a fond memory,
false hope is for the weak,
powerless against the machine.
grinding self-esteem down to nothing.
always second to last in the race.
failure to communicate.
fist to the sky,
trying to soar with broken wings.
stability and direction are elusive,
reality is disillusioned.
captain's go down with the ship..
life boats are not an option.
there's a whole in the world,
the current is too strong,
another shipwrecked life,
slipping in to the abyss.
