Diving into uncertainty

I grasp at the calm

as waves crash over me

I remind myself to breathe,

breathe, breathe

The surface seems so far away

Maybe I'll just stop and start

a different day

It's so, so hard to breathe,

breathe, breathe

Underneath the waves,

away from

noise and sound

I feel safe and calm and thoughtless

tucked into a safe blue cloud

Here, I don't have to breathe,

breathe, breathe

But soon, I'm forced to surface

by forces unknown

And I'm gasping

I'm panting

I'm choking

I'm drowning

All I need is to breathe,

breathe, breathe
