The Raft

Life just feels like

I have to cross an ocean.

And I have only been given a raft.

While I have to watch everyone

On boats, sailing away to shore.

I try to keep up

I try to get there

But I never can. 

For once in life I want 

To be the one on the boat.

Not the raft.

I want to be the one 

That makes it to shore. 

Not stuck watching

Longing

Knowing that I am stuck.

Because I am not a boat

I am a raft.
