It's funny how things all seem like they are going well
How you feel like you are ready for things to happen
But when you actually step back and take a look at it
It can blindside you
One moment you could be walking with your head held high
and the next you're on your ass
Fighting some unknown force
Like you have no chance
Of swimming in the ocean of life
But we fight and fight and no matter what we do
We still end up drowning
So that's where I'm at
Sinking and sinking ever deeper
Into the cool dark abyss
Letting the dark seep into me
Feeling what makes me, me slip away
This is not who I am
I'm not ready to become this person
I'm not ready for change
I'm not ready to die
I'm simply not ready
I want to be me again
I want to be free
I want light
So I ask as I seep into the abyss
"How long am I to be afraid of the unknown"
from the darkness I hear a soft simple reply
ALWAYS
