10. I'm Frustrated and Tired, But

45 8 12
                                        

It's the break of the night,
the nightmares keep piling in

and I don't know
how to make them stop.

I scream out loud
when it looks like you're trying to ghost me

How am I gonna be fine?

I'm afraid that it's just
one day of passion

that keeps me burning
for the rest of the year,

I'm afraid that I'm a wiped out candle,
who doesn't bring out the light anymore,

I've lived on expectations and compliments

and again, that's the only thing
which makes me dead

You say you're afraid
to get lost in the sea

but don't worry, because
you'll find me there

no matter how broken I might be,
no matter how broken my sails

I promise, I'll try my best,
I'll make you cross the sea.

Don't help me out, it'd be pity
I know I'll be back to the sea someday

Hey, I might be afraid,
but I'm a warrior
I might die, but I'll die in the sea

atleast not on the starting lines,
where the people feared to jump in.

Personal Notes :-
I really feel that this could be a potential backstory for our dear ship repairer.

Or maybe, it is the backstory ;)
