useless sealegs

[jason1]

farther and farther away you run
wanting to escape what you dare not become
always seeking out new realms to hide
ignorant to the fact you carry it inside
forever you trade the places and faces
forgotten but never erasing disgraces
as the tides of time eternally wash you to shore
you ponder and stare yet never pass through the door
desperately wanting to find someone new
terribly afraid it will still be you
as you see the dusk drawing near
you feel in your bones another tide of fear
the feelings and thoughts within still churn
hold it there to grow hatred and burn
your heart becomes black your mind grows frail
turn around again and frantically set sail
your ship is at sea your compass lost
prepared to pay the ultimate cost
farther and farther away you will run
needing to escape what you are destined to become

I like it! You should put punctuation at the end though, and maybe in the middle.

Congrats, welcome to the site, and keep writing!

*stares speechless*

That was.... beautiful. Oh my, I adored the metaphors! The sea is a wonderful comparison to life and strive.

Favorite line :

Desperately wanting to find someone new
Terribly afraid it will still be you

Please keep writing; this was excellent!
