On my little fragile raft

Verse 1: On a fragile raft adrift, Through storms, the rain's cold kiss, With dreams as my sole cargo, And childhood visions of bliss. Verse 2: I'll slip away in silence, As midnight claims the skies, To paint my world in rhymes, Where hope and heart reside. Chorus: Let the journey be daunting, Dragged down by grief and pain, Burdened by the echoes Of my yesterdays' refrain. Yet my raft, woven from melodies, And verses deeply sown, Despite the shadows cast, Shows the light I've known. Verse 3: I won't flee from the naysayers, Predicting only my demise, Finding their comfort on solid ground, Under untroubled skies. Verse 4: They'll never grasp the shift, What beckons me afar, A call to distant shores— This quest defines who we are. [Chorus] Verse 5: I'll sever ties to bygones, To fate, I'll leave the rest, From life's gray veil I break free, In quietude, I'll quest. Verse 6: On my modest raft of twilight, New worlds to color and compose, Perhaps in realms yet uncharted, I'll find repose. [Chorus] Chorus: Let the journey be daunting, Dragged down by grief and pain, Burdened by the echoes Of my yesterdays' refrain. Yet my raft, woven from melodies, And verses deeply sown, Despite the shadows cast, Shows the light I've known. [Powerful Outro]
