Like explorers at sea

I search my mind for stability

A glance a future

A shimmer of hope

For something to tide me over

A sweetness to strengthen my resilience

But like most early explorers

My maps are inaccurate

My  knowledge is limited

And my safe place is nowhere to be found.

The author's comments:

The idea of early explorers and my sea of thoughts has been one idea that has come back to me no matter what. This is raw from my mind.
