I want to be deep
deep as the deepest oceans
so people would have to dive in
for them to grasp the meaning behind the words
pouring out from my lips
so people who couldn't swim
would be too terrified
to even touch the surface
thinking who knew what's in there
and the people who are willing
to take the risk of reaching my depth
would swim dauntlessly
just to attain the deepest part of my sea
you will have to hold your breath
as long as you can
and fight the pain
when your arms grow weary
because maybe
that's all I wish for
I want to be something you loses sleep about
something you work hard for
I want to be worth it
