I swim in my tears day after day
while distant shore awaits
quicksand to another realm.
I balance on the rope
across life’s ragged-edged cliff.
A force pulling me to a great fall...
into labyrinth of doubts...
in quiet, but gnawing misery.
Lost in every corner...
Biting my fingers until they bleed...
longing to mend heartaches,
though hope springs up
pushing me back once more
to the sea of my tears...
still afloat for another day...
