I'm the lone self
hiding in the dark
waiting for my ship
soon it will embark

to take me to the world
of the no name man
that is the final journey
the waiting i can't stand

i stand up
as the ship arrives
the grass beneath me
every step it dies

i think of my life
all the troubles i had
just a hand full of good memories
not a one i really had

for all through my life
i was not known
i hid myself
my face not shown

as i step on the ship
i find my dark spot
just like in life
my mind is shot

and as i did in life
i will do in death
i say this goodbye
with my last breath


somethings need poems and then there are thoes that are just for fun

If this poem means what I think it means, I suggest that you get off of the ship immediately.  This is not the ship you want to embark on.  In a sense you entire life is like a voyage on a ship.  

Consider Star Trek.  Do the characters give up when life gets tough?  No, they fight onward.  I hope this helps.

Yeah, where ARE you going?
It seems as though you are giving up/running away from something, rather then fixing whatever is wrong, that is, in the poem. Let us know

ummm... The way I read it is the ship represents death... I could be way off.  But it's like your just waiting to die.  Which I know the feeling of.  I just hope you can can realize that even though it is inevitable that your boat will come, there is no point in waiting for it.  Again if this isn't even close to what you meant, disregard every thing I said, and just let me say nice poem. I enjoyed it.

How come it is so easy for a person to say "I hate you," but it is so difficult for someone to say "I love you" and really mean it????

the ship is not tangible
it ia a metafor meaning death

Jason: what you said is right you go the on the dot

I'm not going anywhere if you really read and looked at the poem you will see the in the last four lines is says:

and so in life
i do in death
i say good bye
with my last breath

no i'm not saying that i'm already but in the poem it goes from now till death looking in to the future well i hope that helps you all

Very good poem. I know the feeling of being scared of death, yet kind of waiting for it. Hope you feel better.

come dream faeries and take me away, into the land of forever... not exactly an upbeat work, but i like it... i cannot, however, accept any view of death that sheds it in such a dim light... death is not seen in a funeral pyre or a mist-veiled ship, but rather should be seen in the light of the goodness of the deceased person's heart -- for as is the heart, so it is in death...

Wonderful job on this.....but yea don't embark on this journey......and yea.....death.......it's unknown...so just be careful with what you do.

I understood the meaning of this before I got to your explaination.  You did a really good job of writing this poem out!
