Learning To Be Lost

I am satisfied sleeping peacefully
An iron ghost with eyes closed
I am a plagiarized
Autobiography
A wreckage
A shipwreck in sheep's clothes

Be patient with me
I am learning to be lost
Don't be gentle. Never gentle
Be mindful of me
I will sink at any cost
Don't be gentle. Never gentle

I have abandoned hope
To the flurry of taciturn called
Mercenary maelstrom
It is not safe to float
I will anchor in the aftermath
Of no one
Of no one

Be patient with me, I am learning to be lost
Don't be gentle. Never gentle
Be mindful of me, I will sink at any cost
Don't be gentle. Never gentle

You can tell by my
Panic-less face
I am accustomed to this

Be patient with me, I am learning to be lost
Don't be gentle. Never gentle
Be mindful of me, I will sink at any cost
Don't be gentle. Never gentle
