Away with the Anchors

As I sit and reflect on times gone by,
Do I live, or have I died?
Did I give up on those life long dreams?
Have I lost the fight against what they should mean?

Time eventually has seemed to erase
the things that put a smile to my face
the hopes that gave me strength to see
that stretched into eternity.

And now as I sit and ponder once more,
No one walks through my empty door,
If I were gone, who would care?
Who would look and find me not there?

A lifetime to get to where I am now,
As I sit and solute the nothingness bowed,
No where to go to from where I've come from,
And a whole load of nothingness to cast eyes upon.

I remember no more the dreams that I had,
A future unseen now, from good things to bad.
As friends have departed, my ship sinks once more,
As no one comes knocking on that closed cold dark door.

As I lay in my bed, reach into the night,
I search into the distance, a light in my sight,
For its message is simple, Its the reason im here
to continue the battle, be rid of the fear!

One step at a time, keep plucking away,
things will be different maybe, one day,
theres always that glimmer, that glimmer called "Hope"
so "Away with the anchors, and push out that boat"
