A Stranded Voyager
am drawn to tragedies of others
as a moth flies into the fire
just to be in the eye of the storm
so, I can forget my own
and pretend to care
am a voyager stranded in a boat
and pretending that
the sea is calm and warm
the sail is set to the sunset
the sun will shine brightly
over my dark clouds…
hoping they will just disappear
without a blow
just by ignoring
but,
I know it’s not true
soon I will meet the storm
twisted inside my selfish desires
one day…
it will hit me in my base
collapsing on my head
will I stand after…?
I let the sea decide
as a submission to the comp It's a KNOCKOUT

The author encourages honest critique.
L2- "As a moth flies into the fire" in my honest and cold critique would be the only suggestion. I like this for its tenor and composure.
