My Little Ferry

The poem "My Little Ferry" was created by me about 2 years back. It depicts the mindset of a man who is lost in his journey but still remembers the goal he had set out to achieve in the end. This is the story of how he fights himself from within.

"MY LITTLE FERRY"

This darkness I feel around me everywhere

Like curtains I remove it, layer by layer

And though it grows thinner, bit by bit

There seems no end that I can find to it

I’ve been running,

Been a long time since

I stopped, took a look around

What have I lost, what have I found

Where do I go, nothing’s clear

Fed up with this constant fear

So lost, I don’t know what to say

Alone with myself, here I lay

These paths I take

What sense they make

What is true and what is wrong

It’s too hard to stay so strong

But I know I have to carry on

Taking strides, singing my own song

Take it all to an end, merry

But the coast is far, oh little ferry

Something’s missing, I don’t understand

It doesn’t feel right, from where I stand

Like a road, waiting for a bend

Like a story, waiting for its end

Don’t tell me it was all a dream

That life is nothing like it has been

‘Cause I love my life just the way it is

‘Cause it is mine, not her, nor his

These waves that come by

So mighty, they climb so high

But I hold my ship steady

And tell them I’m ready

And what’s a ride, without a few bumps

I adjust my stride and take my jumps

Let it come, don’t stop at all

I grab my chance and answer my call

And I will stay strong and carry on

Taking strides, singing my own song

Make it a life to cherish, so merry

A long way to go, my little ferry.
