Two More Days

Two more days
I sat in that seat of emptiness for over 5 days.
I just couldn't figure out what to say
My back ached and my legs did swell
Sitting all these hours may have seemed like hell
But I didn't want to move
I had nothing to prove
To anyone
No not for fun
I evaded truth as it tried to put me under the hot light
But in five whole days I only blinked twice
I crossed my knees and shifted in the chair
It might seem silly to you, but I did not care
The room seemed to spin
Again, and again
I folded my hands on my lap
And shuffled my feet and did a tap
I imagined I was on an island of fools
And there were no rules
I picked up a pen and finally wrote
About being in a capsized boat
out on the water
Of a grand sea
And no one had come to look for me
The sun came up and went down again
And I thought about the time I had one friend
But they died
And I began to hide
From the sadness and anger
Because I wanted to blame her
For being shot in the chest
And leaving me in this mess
On this boat, still afloat
Why do not the heavens respond?
I know God sees what I am on
Save me
Rescue me
From me
Lord don't you see
The chair has floated away
And I will sit here for another day
I cover my face
And its sea water I do taste.
Suddenly a giant wave came
And washed me ashore
And I ended up just like before
Alone, unhappy feeling left out
I don't know what this is all about
Hits, licks, kicks and demanding
All without understanding
Born into coldness
With nothing but boldness
No hand has stayed away
Except for these five days
Life took me for a swim
And bought me back again
I shiver in the linings of life
Looking for life
3 more days
And I will fade away.
