float on

i am a weary lost soul trying to survive with the wild waves
holding on tight throughout the night just to face the day
the shrieking wind and constant rain will follow me to my grave
no matter how long i hold my breath or the direction i sway

i will always stare off to the sunset but find no hint of green
and all i ever see is the blue that barely keeps me afloat
fighting to survive each day has become vaguely obscene
but until the day i dive into the waters below, i will float

float for no particular purpose but for the lovely hints of sunlight
for the dull glow of the moon and stars at the first sign of night
i will float on
