I keep drifting in a sea of pain,
Efforts to steer ashore are all in vain
Yelling out in despair very very dark,
I keep bobbing up and down like a petty cork
A huge wave lifts me, I fly up in the air,
Briefly thinking that it’s the end of all despair
The higher the rise, the deeper the fall,
The pain that comes back is like hitting a stone wall
Painkillers are the lifebuoys that help keep me afloat,
As I keep looking for my final rescue boat
Some days I feel I am drifting towards the Shore,
I consciously try and paddle a little more
The next day I find the shore nowhere in sight,
My pain free future looks less and less bright
In all this journey, always walking a tight rope,
One thing I would never give up is hope
Like all good things need to come to an end,
The bad things in life should also self amend
With such hopeful thoughts coursing though my mind,
Thinking that soon I ll leave all this pain behind
I Keep drifting in a sea of pain,
Efforts to steer ashore are all in vain
