Oh Captain My Captain

Nostalgia is born in autumn  Rises from the ash of spring In winter dies the haughty goals We knew summer would bring In Spring blossoms the determined fate To be new under summer sky Yet in Autumn's chill we are forced to hate The early winter that will watch it die The we of winter was so different Than the summer of our youth The courage spring seeks to grow Drifts to dust in autumn hues  The persistent marching of the seasons  Breaks more hearts than years combined  But we don’t cry because the seasons change We weep because we didn’t

I’m breaking down while I am wishing you well. As I see the pieces come undone. Remember a few sins wont send you to hell.

A haze I can't breach from where we begun. Remember a few sins wont send you to hell. I wish I could save you but I can't enter hell.  So I leave you to slay demons alone.

Now you fight alone while I escaped hell. I’m desperate to fight and I'm forced to run. I’m breaking down while I am wishing you well. Remember a few sins wont send you to hell.

I strive to be like sea glass Smoothed by tides that beat down Upon me day after day after day Instead of cracking under pressure I will be moved by the waves Learn to rise with the tides Shine brighter as time passes Rest quietly on the shore  The salt and time will smooth my edges Jagged ends will meet and curve The pressing pressure of the ocean  Will only polish my surface But some days I'm just a bottle Laying lonely by the waves  My cap is lost, my neck is cracked Cast away from calling tides But every piece of sea glass Began when it could break Before suffering wild oceans Or learning what it could take
