In the deep
You left me in the deep end,
Where shadows dance and waters
Bend.
Alone, I linger on the brink,
A hesitant heart, a silent ink.
I can't swim that well, not yet,
With each rising wave, I feel the
Threat.
Afraid I might drawn in the vast
Unknown,
In this ocean of dark, I'm all alone.
Will you come to save me,
Or am I lost in this reverie?
Answer my call, don't let me fade,
For life is a gift too precious
To trade.
I'm young, with dreams that
Span the years,
Yet this abyss has tangled my
Fears,
My father gift me life enbrace,
A beacon of hope in this turbulant
Space.
Let's praise my father, for
His love unwavering,
His spirit in me, eternally
Savoring.
As the sun dips low, the horizon
Bleeds,
Who will hear my hearts pleas?
The night is heavy, darkness
Unfurls,
Yet I must muster my strength
Swirls.
I'll swim to the shore, through
The tide is fierce,
I seek the warmth of home's
Gentle light,
It's getting late, the hour
Draws near,
But with hope as my compass, I'II
Chart what I FEAR
