All Aboard

This ship can sink at any moment

There’s constant picking at your lips

Piercing like the jagged ridges of your nails

The ropes tight inside the back of your throat

And the burning edges of your eyes

You brought a packed mind

That you drag along silently

There’s memories that walk in

Without knocking

The worst case scenarios

Unravel and sail forward

The best case scenarios

You have to fish out

The shaking of the body

Rocking in a fetal way

An anchored heart that sinks

And lungs that gasp for air

This ship can sink at any moment

Or it can float

And float

away
