Winds...

This tumult of emotion

Pulling me under

Overwhelming me

Like a ship with a broken rudder

Steered by the wind

Rocks of melancholy draw perilously near

And the ship sails beyond my control

Why do I feel so stretched?

Being pulled in different directions

By feelings, like undercurrents
Forces beyond my understanding

With no purpose    
And no end in sight

Still I follow this winding road,

Knowing not where it takes me

 Leaving my burdens behind

Letting go

All I carry is a glimmer of hope

That one day it would make sense

And the seas would be calmer

The wind in my sails

Driving me to safe shores
