the slow boat from china

sailed across the ocean
into the setting sun
no idea where we’re going
no clue what we’ve begun

sailed across the sea
this time homeward bound
can i see the world again
after what we’ve found

write

give me space to breathe, I’m on my knees now

got to get the feeling out somehow

burning, deep down inside, melt my heart away

escape to a pen and paper, any day

my deepest secrets revealed, brighter ideas be

I write to get it all out,

I write to flee,

when I write just for me,

I write to be free.
