I sail
I watch
I see
From the seas I see
The town of ones who seek
Who they need
Now who will they be?
On one day they smile
The others they try to trial
On their own
They try to set sail
And with a frown I watch them fail
If I could save
Every soul
I would try and take control
But
I do not want to be
The one who saves the souls of one of many
I am a friend
To those in need
But I am just as bad
I am in need
Of the ones
That mess with my head
It is sad to say
I work this way
I let them in
And they walk out
Of my mind
So grace like
It hurts my own sight
It gives me a scare
When I know that I am not in the light
But the dark I can bare
It can cause a fright
Through the night
The dark
The light
At the end of the ways
In the aisle
That lies in the breach
Of dark and light
You see
That is where I
Come from
That is why I may not see
In only dark
In only light
I see both ways
And it frights
The heart of mine
As it beats fast
And sees the way that should
I would give up this whole world
If I could
But I will let it be
The hard part is yet to see
I live so far
In my head
I lose my own sane self
But it is fine
I will dine
On the rights that I have earned
Through the light and dark nights
Through the days that shall and could
I earn my way
To live this long
I will let it go in for a swim
As I sail
The chain they drown
Down they go
And stop me
From my thoughts
Of the want to see
The world out at sea
To big for one like me
The chains
They lie
To stop
And try
The ways that I have learned from the lands.
