Island in the Sea
May 13, 2014
I try to help everywhere I turn,
Someone else is there I feel obligated to stay,
Turning from person to person.
I never just push through the crowd
The sea of people never parts,
Never evaporates.
I used to swim,
Then I treaded water,
Now I'm to tired,
Now I'm drowning.
Drowning among the people, the people I help.
No-one notices but you.
You reach out to me to help me up,
Now that I have you, you help me keep adrift.
Thank you, for being my safety place.
For being my island in the middle of the sea.
