Driftwood

Like a driftwood sailing on a wave

Shorn of pretence, only being brave,

Celebrate shall I when I get tossed

Onto my favourite beach, like a lover sloshed

Like driftwood, its emotions clogged

Life is such, it compels each of us here

Answer questions, without shedding a tear

Like driftwood, impaled on a spear

Darkness envelopes the depth of my mind

I have always wondered, am I one of a kind

Like driftwood, alone and blind

To bear the weight of this endless suffering

Is this a facade, must I keep smiling?

Like driftwood, lost and yet gliding

I shall reach for you, oh you the devilish one

A war cry so loud, it will reach the sun

Like driftwood, enduring and stubborn

I dare you hence, don't shove me as you wish

I will trudge and trod, until I finish

Like driftwood, in a battle or a skirmish

The proverbial last laugh belongs to the unbroken

Driftwood turned and tossed, though unsunken

The air of victory will waft through the air

The scream of my pain shall inspire everyone in their lair

Like driftwood, sailing on a wave
