Drowning

So when I was in the hospital in September, I had a dream that I was drowning, but somehow I was still breathing. It ironically was symbolic of my actual situation which is weird because I don't have dreams like that. Anyway, man months later, I decided to make something out of that vivid dream.

Slowly falling
I won't swim
It's so deep
This is the end

Unlike air
I still descend
I can't reach up
I won't breathe in

But soon I have to open up
My lungs will surely start to flood

With eyes wide open
I breathe in
And still survive
Without some fins

I've hit the bottom
But I'm not dead
I thought that drowning
Would clear my head

Do you think
I'll learn to swim
With nothing left
No oxygen

If I'm breathing
Will no gills
I'll stay down here
Until this ocean stills

One day I
Will journey up
And know that
I was good enough

Water air
I'll still be there
To show someone
I truly care

You may have demons
In your sea
But you can tame
Your enemy

Don't give up
Take some time
And with some love
You'll be just fine.
