Alone

The ocean laps against the side of the boat

Waves so big I wonder how I am still afloat

I wish I could go back to my home

But I have chosen to be alone

Now that there is no turning back

My longing for home is growing larger by the stack

I look out upon the sea and wonder “Why me”

Why am I captured instead of being free

They came to me and offered a new life

Said come play our game, roll our dice

Dumbly, I agreed to go with them

I followed, like a pup leaving the den

Looking back on my choice

I begin to hope they will hear my voice

My shouts are too far out for anyone to hear

I lean back and cry a pool of tears

They had a catch that they kept quiet

So when I asked about it they denied it

No one can hear my cries for help

I am too far out at sea for an audible whelp

They sent me on a boat away

And here I am still today

Hopefully one day I will be found

But if not I will be forever water bound
