Screaming underwater
Begging to get help
I swim and swim, but never reach the border
I look around me, trying to see
Can't discern reality, from living underseas
I try to fight, but I can't take my breath
I feel so scared, of a fate worse than death
I can only look on, as the water drags me under
I feel so tired, I'd like to surrender
It drags me down, until there's no light
I want to rise, but I lost my ability to fight
I pray it will be over soon
But I have a final wish
I'd like to see the moon
Because how can it be so bright
In a sky full of stars and night
I admire it's ability to shine
It seems to have become my lifeline
I reach out to it, like an alcoholic reaches out to wine
And then
Then
I swim and fight and struggle to take my breath
After all, it's a matter of life and death
But I can finally see the shoreline
I can't wait to see the moonshine
I swim and fight to rise above the surface
I can finally let go of this burden
I can finally feel the return of my purpose
