Our Boat

There was a time when all I had was a board
At times I was shocked I stayed alive on it
When the ocean tossed me around like a rag doll
And at times it was like I was flying in the air

Eventually I made that board into a raft
But it still wasn't much protection from the storms
I shivered from the cold day after day all alone
Slowly started to give up hope in the ocean of emotions

And then she suddenly entered my life
Magically turning my raft into a battleship
No longer afraid of the sea or those who sail it
Ready and able to defend myself from my attackers

She's my ammunition for retaliations
She's my fuel constantly driving on past my limits
She's my armor keeping me protected from others
She's my queen for whom I fight to the death for

We look out for each other on this sea
Whether it's real, mental, emotions, or something else
The sea is now a safe place for us to journey
As long as we have each other to drive the other on
