Anchors

⚓

Anchors strong, beautiful, and inspiring

The blue color of the anchor mixed with rust

Racing and racing in the sea

Anchors hold you down

They hold you back

Anchors are like weights

That you struggle to lift

What happens

When you are finally strong enough

To lift the weight

of the anchor off your shoulders

The answer to that,

You run

You sprint on the beach at dawn

Where the sky is so bright

The pink, orange, yellow mix

‘Cause when you lift the anchor

You are free,

Free of everyone telling you

You can’t

When my anchor is finally lifted

I will be the next MVP

(Most Valuable Player)

they will stop staring at anchors

And start looking at me

Someday

Someday I will be great

Someday I will get noticed

Someday I will be famous

Someday I will be inspiring

Someday I am going to be the one little kids look up to
