green boat

There’s this green boat and it’s tied to the shore with a double knot. There’s paint on the floors and a hole in the side and it’s sinking slowly. I ran to it when no one was looking.
I didn’t cry tonight for money or love, I cried for independence. I didn’t cry for my generation or my causes, I cried for my freedom.
It’s the one thing I’ve always had and the one thing I fight for the hardest. I’m afraid of what it means and need everything it is.
I will never be able to describe the sinking, desperate feeling I get when I realize I’m tied and double knotted. I will never be able to describe how beautiful it is to fight for my life.
