Alone on a lifeboat

I somehow made it to the middle of the sea
On a lifeboat
With nothing but pure sanity
I struggle to see anything but the blue
No clouds in the sky
The truth in clear view
I doddle along with the push of the wave
I finally smile
For I am saved
Saved from a life
A life that we crave
A life tainted black
One leads one astray
Connections dissolve
In the world everyday
But my troubles resolve
As I float away
Alone on a lifeboat
My happiest place
A life without loathing
A life without waste
I taste the sea salt
At the tip of my tongue
A reminder of freedom
Of how far I’ve come
