Drowning

You're in life’s ocean for a swim When waves of sadness come rolling in Your whole world's been turned upside down You're feeling like you're gonna drown. You look around and all you see Is miles and miles of deep blue sea You cry for help, no one can hear You reach out but no one's there. You hold your breath as you roll with the waves Determined this will not be your grave You cry for help one more time But it's no use- you're gonna die. You sigh as you're pulled to the deep You're falling into eternal sleep You struggle to come up for air And suddenly, there's someone there They pull you up out of the water And just like that, you're feeling better For now, you know that you're ok You lived to see another day.
