Come on in, The Waters Fine.

Yeah, I knew I recognized this place,

I’ve been here a time or two before.

The view looking up from the bottom,

how did I end up on the floor?

*

Just before I reach the top,

you push me down again.

Offer your arm to help me out,

then you pull away your hand.

*

How is it I fall for this game,

The hide and seek, your it, without me?

With no warnings all the rules change,

and I’m on the losing team

*

I thought we had a connection,

a powerful bond with invisible string.

But you keep me here for your protection,

then walk away like I don’t mean a thing.

*

Fool me once they say, shame on you,

fool me twice, its shame on me?

Yet after 3 or 4 more times,

I think I need some new instincts.

*

If I don’t, I won’t survive,

I’m drowning in your assurances.

I need to get a grip or else,

some basic life insurance.

*

I need help fast, I’m fading,

If fact, I just don’t wanna care.

Just fill this hole with water,

stand there and watch me grasp for air

*

My fight gets less aggressive,

I find after all, the waters fine.

I’ll take one final long deep breath,

then sink back down inside.

*

Below the waters surface,

close my eyes and drift away.

To a place of gentler tides,

and lovely dreams of yesterday.
