As Raindrops in the Sea.
Spurned the Tide of Dutiful —
Responsibility.

Worries lurk away amid —
Stowed Fantasies and Schemes.
Scurried — gnawing — little Rats —
They nibble at my Dreams.

Compass spinning dizzily —
True Lost is hard to find.
Trade Winds of Conformity —
Swells the Sails of Mind.

Without a rudder, chart or fare
Direction left to toss
With fog of mind I set to find
Another Place that's lost

I started this months ago and then came back to it  . I kinda like it always looking for advice . I was wondering if I could use this to write an actual song with acoustic guitar perhaps.
Hi,
I don't know what the random capitol letters strewn about are intended to achieve. Baffling to me. 

There are some good lines and the third verse is the best, except for the pointless capitals. I don't quite get the story, but maybe it needs more readings and thought than I've given it.

You can sing anything, but it doesn't make it a song. Songs don't necessarily need a chorus but they do need some form of repetition, so songs without a chorus usually have a refrain repeated at the end of each verse. 
There's a common rhyme scheme, xaxa, used in many songs, so that should work.

But those capital letters - hmm.
