I want to watch me
build my own world
block by block
and see me conquer

But the sea—the sea
that seemed so blurred,
far too dark,
sounded like comfort

I escaped the fleet,
to save my quirks,
then was shocked
that waves could ruin

Dragged onto defeat,
I drift after
what’s left of
my dissolved spirits

Now the blues have smeared
my prized future,
like a rock
sunk by its own weight

I wanted to see me
conquer currents.
Wind the clock
and I'd do better.
