The Distant Shore

As I stand alone upon the isle,

Tethered, but unmoored,

I hope to find

That the message of mine,

Reached the distant shore.

From the author: This poem is about being in between. In between one phase of your life and the next. Waiting for someone to take a chance on you. Whether it's in regards to a job, a promotion, Match Day or love. You're unable to move forward, stuck in between."
