Oceans of water from which you cannot drink <br />A racing mind with which you cannot think <br />Dust filled eyes your unable to blink <br />Fleets of ships that only burn and sink <br /> <br />From the moment that you begin to cry <br />Endless tears given no chance to dry <br />You believe the truth but also the lie <br />Every question seems to be why <br /> <br />Where you stand is where you're meant to be <br />The sights you view are the things you're meant to see <br />Take up every chance to live unchained and free <br />‘cause you only end in a metaphorical tree <br /> <br />The distance to travel seems longer before the start <br />That and the finish line will seem further apart <br />Look after your head but don't forget your heart <br />Never-mind if the truth upsets the apple cart <br /> <br />Peace will make it harder for you to live in fear <br />When the time comes you'll know the direction to steer <br />Away from the shattered windows in which you used to peer <br />Away from the noises that used to damage your ear<br /><br />Liam Hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oceans-of-water/
