I feel like everyone
Is slowly slipping away from me
Slip slip slip
Like when you're on a water slide
Everything seems deceptively fine
But before your know it
You're plunging
And slip slip slipping
Down down down
And at this point
I couldn't stop if I wanted to
I'm so terrified
Of the moment when I finally slip
Off the slide
And into the clear, cold water below
The moment when
Everyone had slip slip slipped
Out of my grasp
Forever
For we all know it's impossible
to climb a water slide
