You call me selfish for my feelings,
Because I don't want to be stuck here,
In a body of water forever like you,
Its absurd that I have interest in others,
That I would rather be on the land,
Than float forever like you,
You said you know how I feel,
They are just the words of a fool,
Though they are the words of a child,
Your child because I am yours,
So you may tell me over and over,
But you never seem to show it,
I fell of your boat and cried for you constantly,
Though I built it you let me sink,
And I had to stop myself from drowning,
Because you laugh as I cry,
You laughed as I was bleeding,
And now that the scars have healed,
You hit me with your words,
You hit me with your actions,
And now you hit me with all you have,
But one day I will have too many,
The scars will heal and I will be scabbed,
And I know I will peel back the layers,
You will see me on land while you shiver in water,
And I will be warm while you will be cold,
And you will get wrinkly while I stay youthful,
But you can't hurt me in water,
And I can't hear you from far away,
And you will soak eternally alone,
But I have the trees and the wind,
The dirt and the sand and animals,
But you could never know,
Because you are stuck in the water,
You rejected my hand for years,
But now the water doesn't feel so great to you.
