none

The days of my life like waves

strike the hull of a ship that is my being

Chaos the norm deep within

no escape from this life without meaning



Sharks swim about keenly spying

with preying cold eyes for my rudder to fail

Laughing delight from these demons

picking away at my thin veil



Hands clasped tight white knuckles

on a disintegrating wheel

Stay my course one more day,

chin up - ahead to the next deal



I look to the sky, plead and beg

and scream for relief in pain

To a God who can't hear - or won't,

(and still he commands me remain)
