I try to breathe but the pressure drowns me
I can’t stay afloat
I’m trying so hard to reach the top
But it’s always out of reach
I need to stop and flow with the waves
Instead, they take me down
Falling, falling, falling
Further from the top once more
I’ll get back up but what the point
The waves will take me down each time
But, what if it’s different this time
What if the sun shines through and the waves calm and I’m able to reach the top
There isn’t always a storm at sea
The waves do calm eventually
The sun does shine
And laughter returns to the shore
I will wait for the storm to cease
I will breathe again
I will reach the top
I will fight the waves
