Title : Marco Polo Reflects
Today
I set sail
and I promised myself
no more crying
no more crying
no more crying
until I strike gold
then only then
Happy tears
But as I enter this boat
I am unsure of where
the hell I am going
I told the Queen I could
And I really thought I could
I really do hear something in me
Telling me you’ll make it to india
But what if I fail
if the voice was nonsense
I hugged my mom and dad
Noogied my brother
And wished to take them with me
Days 30 on the sea
I miss it
I miss them
I miss home
and I question my sanity
what if we never go anywhere
what about pirates
Maybe I should have been
a Map maker
a Map maker
I would have been the best map maker
ever
But I tell myself
don’t go there
don’t go in dark alleys
in which muggers and robbers of self doubt
can beat a man
and leave him whimpering about
I am the captain
and cannot crumble
I promised myself
No more crying
No more crying
No more crying
I miss my mates
and all the ale we would partake
But I will see them again
for which I am sure
my clock
ticks and ticks and ticks
waiting does nothing good for the heart
today we found it
we found it
we found something even better
I cry as I am no longer questioning
I was born for the this life
Months I sailed left only with my thoughts
And Today
I Anchor My Boat
And I promised myself
that I would believe in me
Marco Polo,
And I cried
And I cried
And I cried
Because I realized that no matter
How many times
I doubted
I just pushed on through,
I was a boat on emotional sea for months
and today i am Anchored
Today I’m Anchored
Today I’m Anchored
And feels so good
to be steady
