I Am In A Lifeboat

I am in a lifeboat lost at sea. I've used all the emergency supplies, done the sos calls, and yet I am still here and realising that maybe there's nothing more to do.

All that is left is to savour the essentials at hand and use them scarcely so they last in hopes that maybe I'll see something on the horizon that is new.

Another boat, or land, or maybe a helicopter. To be honest, a lifeline at this point I would gladly take in hopes of finding help, and maybe get some relief.

All I know is, the longer I paddle this boat and all I see is vast open-ended spaces with no help in sight, my heart starts to wander and my energy depletes.

When do I stop paddling and just rest my weary mind and body, and how do I even do that when I am stranded, and freedom seems so out of my reach?

I am unsure how to stop my body from worrying and being in distress, but I also wonder if my mind is not stopping. Is this its way of showing me that hope it still keeps?

I am in a lifeboat and stranded out in a sea that is large, and I seem so small that no one seems to find me, and I am watching larger objects just pass me by.

So please, if you see me in my little lifeboat just purely trying to stay afloat, give me a hand or throw me a lifeline. I am trying my best every day to keep the fight.
