i.am

I submitted this poem to my school's literary magazine, and it got accepted

I am the captain of my ship

I drive through the waves, control my own destiny

I am hoping not to crash, hoping not to trip

I hope the coast is clear, praying for clemency

Because I can’t go on living like this

Driving through the abysmal fog

Void of bliss

Although never quite ready to accept an angel’s kiss

I still find the time to reminisce

On my dark times of my past crimes

Emitting in my ears like rusty wind chimes

A painful reminder of all the times

Things didn’t work out

The pain hurts so much I want to scream and shout

But eventually I will reach my goal

Because I am the captain of my own soul

Hopefully the end will not take its toll

And I’ll die, sane and whole.
