The Dive
The dive
Maybe I dived in too early
Unaware of the depth of the waters
And I thought I got it all
Now I'm drowning
The tide is overriding my strength
The sharks coming on my way
Maybe I dived in too late
Thinking I got it all
I'm now hurting
I can't feel a thing
I am all numb
As if I'm in a dark room all by myself
Maybe I didnt dive at all
Scared of the things I don't know
Dark figures looming over my head.
The strength to go on failing me
Now wishing I had given it a try
But it seems its too late
The roses slowly faded and wilted
What's left is the thorns on the roses
The scar are now visible
If only I had....
Now I'm burying all my doubts
I will dive in
