Soul Under Pressure

The sea thrill and amplify the soul,
Deep, calm, rugged; don't be a fool.
Mystery kill, perhaps adventure,
Only the brave survive to shore.

The dark sea floor, 
I want to explore.
Make no mistake,
Be careful not to shake.

Down under, I'm being pressured,
My greatest fear is being measured.
I crave back what light had shown,
For after this darkness, the dawn.

I'm use to darkness all along,
Till the light shown like a song.
Hearing the truth set me free,
My sighing soul is willing to see.
