Written June/July of 2020(?)

I awoke
Finding myself laying on the deck of a ship
This ship that's been floating aimlessly,
Alone with nowhere to go

Looking up I search for stars,
Seeing that there's nothing but glass
Trapped inside with no one but my thoughts alone,
Not a person who cares for this is my new home

People watch as this ship is on display
Not really caring for what I dare say

Perhaps someday,
A person will see me
How I'm trapped away
On this boat in the sea
And break my ship free,
From this glass bottle

I found this poetry prompt on Instagram (prompt is the title) and decided to use it. I wrote this sometime back in June or July of 2020.
