Lost At Sea

Living on an island gets lonely sometimes

but I feel it most when they turn off the lights

I gave up saying "someone listen to me" 

not even a mega phone can awake the sea

anyway the fish have nothing to say

And the birds just want someone to prey

I find its safest to hide in my own cave

Where they can’t rain on my little parade

And I don’t know who I am in a world of broken mirrors

my head is a constant blur for there is no bed time here 

I tried to make a ship

So I could avoid the trip

But they won’t let me go 

They say it’s not the way wind blows

if you were on an island

you would understand more 

but I don’t blame you for not knowing

especially when you can’t cross the shore

But I’m unlike you, and you’re unlike me

and that’s why I'll always let you run free

I figure if I run fast enough they won’t see

And maybe they’ll even forget about me

But the words I speak are never heard

My mind is imprisoned and misunderstood

And the words I speak are never heard

I only repeat for the fish and the bird

My eyes are always heavy 

Fit to match my heart

The lines are getting blurry

But they still keep me at the start

i know If I demand to be free

Ill only be shot next to my dignity

Because there’s nothing more threatening 

Than a girl with a big dream

Ill say it again, and ill say it once more

the fish never have anything to say

And the birds just want to settle the score

But its really all the same

Irrelevance and hate with a different name

So if I told you I believed 

In the dreams of the leaves

Would you laugh in my face

Or choose me to click & erase

Maybe I’m being irrational here

But there is always a root to fear

I guess what I’m saying is I hate being alone

But maybe it’s better than being a joke

Really good! I love getting a feeling of the sea while reading this poem.

Awesome. I think we can all relate to the feeling of being imprisoned, whether by our thoughts or the actions of another. You're very talented! Keep up the great work!
