Affliction


Out in the distance
No one hears
His prayers
On a boat

Floating away
All that covers him
Is an old
Woollen coat

Silence is his enemy
Freedom is his friend
Time spent in his head
Only him to defend

Water ripples
Beneath him
Dragging him
Further away

Scorching skies
Turn to dark
In an instant
Plaguing him
Into retreat
Not wanting to defeat

Worries they
Carry him
Further
Much further

Until the
The line breaks
Softening as
He awakes

Eyes widen
Sun it returns
Returning to land
He is the forgotten son
