Sometimes I Write Poems, Sometimes I Write Songs

24. I See Water

I can see the water.

In fact that's all I see

Surrounded by the blue

For all eternity

I am lost and cannot swim

Stuck on my barren rock

For I am surrounded

As the vultures start to stalk

I wish I were a fish

For I could swim away

But I am so much different

In the worst kinds of ways

I want to be accepted

I want to be set free

So I can escape my life

And perhaps, truly be free
