Dangerous but alluring
Shallow then deep
I'm scared of the water
But something about it pulls me in
I wanna run and jump into it
Float with the current
Not a care with the world
Freedom on the water
But I'm terrified of it
Fighting my fear i step out
One foot at a time deeper and deeper
The water is pushing me over
Generally terrified
Now at peace
Not a single drop of fear
Something about the water has always pulled me in
Never had the strength to fight the fear
Standing out here water to my waist
All the fear has drained away
Good or bad i still don't know yet
The water is alluring
Calm and cool
The water is dragging me in
Am i suicidal or am I free
I still don't know yet
The fear is no longer controlling me
Couldn't even put my feet in the water before
Now I'm standing hip deep
Fish swimming around me and I'm not scared
Snakes slithering past
Reaching out my hand
Not a care in the world
Something about this water is alluring
Always watching it but never touching it
I never dared to go out in the water
Now look at me
I'm swimming in the water
Not a care in the world
Something about the water makes me feel at home
Free from worry
Free from fear
The water
It's alluring
Pulling me in
Fighting the fear i go deeper
Letting the water pull me in
Swallowing me whole
In this great big world
The water brings me home
Free and carefree
I feel at home
No longer terrified
