Curiosity
Sometimes i wonder how deep the
water is. Should i stay where's its
safe and dry? Or dip my toes in for a
test drive? If i like it I'd go a bit
further and let it catch my knees, but
it still doesn't satisfy my needs. Yes
ill go further ill go out to the deep I'm
feeling risky the water surrounds me.
Cut off by the neck the water starts
to wave,maybe i should go back
where its safe and that's where i
should've stayed? I turn my body
'round and spot the shore ,stretch
out my leg but slip and fall. As i go
under i gasp for breath but all i
breathe in is water. Im drowning,im
sinking,what was i thinking? I
should've stayed upon the shore and
took in the scenery. "Let it be," the
voices said and i woke up from that
dream more alive as i could be no
longer was i dead,but free.
