Late, by myself, in the boat of myself,
no light and no land anywhere,
cloudcover thick. I try to stay
just above the surface,
yet I'm already under
and living with the ocean

Comments1Wow, this is just so relatable, especially "I try to stay just above the surface, yet I'm already under". It beautifully captures the feeling of being overwhelmed in life's sea of challenges. The imagery is so vivid I can almost feel the waves.
