The Star of Determination
The goals I set before myself are my weights, yet hope
I am tired, but I am trying to stay afloat
My thoughts seem to want me to sink
It has so many questions singing like a siren of the seas
The song got to me like a false epiphany,
"Maybe I should lay down in this boat, who has time for dreamless hope?"
In the quite of the waves
I heard a small voice say, "Stay determined, and sail to the starfilled bays."
I was shocked because I thought,
You died in the back of my head
Once I believed hope was drowned by the sirens hand.
It said to me like the sweetest whispers of the sea,
"Put your worries to bed my dearest friend,
and go search for the promised land,"
"You will finally be able to rest, once you lay your head upon the holy sands."
The voice faded way, but I could still tell it was in the waves.
I listened to its warnings and hosted the sails, ready to sail to next morning.
I had a compase in my hand that was my hopeful thread.
I realized it would navigate me through my sea of dread,
to the future I saw ahead.
The sweet voice continued to stay with me,
and it said "See that sunrise uphead?"
"Go over those rough waters of the sea,
to go to where you wish to be.
Don’t look left or right, but continue to fight.
I am always in your head, so don’t lay back to bed."
The sweet voice kissed me farewell one more time,
I knew this was not goodbye
Just them falling into the night.
I promise I will keep looking for the light in this endless night.
For that day, I decided that Sorrow and pain,
For you, Determination, are my key to pushing me toward the future I see.
