raindrops slip down the side of a vessel window
grey clouds roam the skies
i am in the hull
looking out,
rocky seas.
drifting away from the dock.
if i can survive out here,
i can survive anywhere.
i am going to disappear for a time.
i will not show my face.
i will not write, i will not call.
i will brave the squalls.
consider this a solemn declaration.
if you find this note,
lost at sea
crashed on a rock.
then know i am still out there.
i will never die.
