Dawn & Dusk

Heavy burdens
On wearied shoulders
Expectations
Are back-breaking boulders

They are like anchors
Tie us to the shore
Stop us exploring
Chasing after more

The oceans we do not roam
In tame waters we are trapped
Our ships list and rot
The bows creak and then crack

A boat should be free
Into the sea released
Its sails flapping wildly
As it chases after its dreams
