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
