Drowning In the Kiddie Pool

My uniform is pressed and my boots are polished, I’m a good Paramedic I’m ready to start my day I filled the kiddie pool with water last night; it should be cold enough for me now I’m not totally sure why I need to lay in it, but I guess I’ll find out once I’m there My uniform is pressed and my boots are polished, I’m a good Paramedic I lay back into the pool with my body half in and half out My head floats slightly and my hair is weightless around me I can’t really breathe This feels like drowning Wait, why am I here? How did this happen? Just stand up! You’re drowning in a foot of water Just stand up! My uniform is pressed and my boots are polished, I’m a good Paramedic My co-workers pass by and can see my shining boots They keep on walking past me One stops to see what I’m doing Just stand up, he says, its not that bad Just stand up, it’s so simple I can’t move, I don’t understand why I got here The doctors come and whisper under their breath They look blurry through the water One tells me this is just who I am now I guess this is my new home Take these pills, and just lay back Take these pills and just accept your new life Take off your uniform you don’t need it anymore Can’t they see I’m drowning? Wait wait! Somebody please, just pick me up I’m drowning It’s so simple I’m drowning Just lay back I’m drowning I did this to myself It’s so simple I was a good Paramedic
