Sea of a Drifter

The drifter out at sea following the waves but never reaching land-

Is he really a drifter if he finds a home in his head?

This drifter is a man bound by self-

Locked away in a oblivious kind of hell-

He thinks he is free living in his make believe world-

But he is just a fly caught in the spiders web-

Permanently damaged by the one he can't help but love-

His thoughts and emotions are killing him eating slowly at his burning lungs-

He goes through life-

A mindless soul lost to woe-

Until he closes his eyes-

There he lies but a drifter-

Following the waves but never finding home.
