Daily, I strive to trust,
but my heart just continues to rust.
My engine light has been on awhile,
and it’s harder and harder to smile.
You are so sweet, but I feel bitter,
my memories are like used kitty litter.
Chronic pain is like a metal chain,
they said, “no pain, no gain?”
Around my neck, going down, down,
into the waves that stir differently,
in the sea, deep,
a treasure, I keep close to my chest,
the best I can.
Through my lifespan,
I pray for some kind of miracle,
or whispered oracle,
in my deaf ear,
who sails on waters, without fear.
