On My Own
Diving into my ocean of life
Swimming through it
Needing help to breathe
Getting tangled and twisted
In my thoughts
needing help once more
I see the surface
Yet it is so far away
I am being pulled down
Drifting lower and lower
Until the weight of the
Ocean is on my shoulders
Holding me down
Forcing me to push harder
I let go of all my secrets
Giving myself the lift I need
I float higher and higher until
I am just inches away
I break the surface
Finally able to breathe on my own
Swimming through it
Needing help to breathe
Getting tangled and twisted
In my thoughts
needing help once more
I see the surface
Yet it is so far away
I am being pulled down
Drifting lower and lower
Until the weight of the
Ocean is on my shoulders
Holding me down
Forcing me to push harder
I let go of all my secrets
Giving myself the lift I need
I float higher and higher until
I am just inches away
I break the surface
Finally able to breathe on my own
