Boat Tours
AJK 2024
I’m wearing a life jacket
To cross the River Styx
A fight to stay alive,
While the Reaper’s clock ticks.
Darkness envelops.
Despair is a friend.
But I’m taking this boat tour
Just to see where it ends.
I’m throwing a finger
To the tide that pulls me under.
I’m screaming curses
At the despondency that tries
these weary bones to sunder.
“It’s not over til it’s over” is a
promise
Not a phrase,
You either fight to the death
Or death fights you for your days.
So I’m wearing a life jacket
To cross the River Styx.
A fight to stay alive,
Even while the Reaper’s clock
ticks.
Darkness may envelop;
Despair still a friend;
But I’m taking this boat tour
Just to see where it ends.
I am gasping for air,
But the clutch is mine to grasp.
I’m holding out hope,
That the heaviness
Won’t last.
My brain spins out of control;
My heart races into over-drive;
And yet each haggard breath
Tells me I’m alive.
Put on your life jacket
To cross the River Styx.
It is a fight to stay alive,
Though the Reaper’s clock still ticks.
Hope is a small rebellion,
When “fine” is a four-letter word.
Light breaking though the Hell;
A glimpse the darkness blurred.
Though the battle rages,
And against the dawn the night
tries to win…
I am taking this bout tour
Just to see where it ends.
