The Sea
I've been hit
By a tidal wave
And I don't mind if
I drown tonight
I've been fighting
The ocean long enough
I keep sinking just when
I reached the Light
My past is the ocean
And reality is the salt
That stings my Eyes
How can i swim
WIth a weakened heart
And avoid the obstacles of pain
When I'm bruised and blind?
I've been pushed off
The boat of equality
And I've lost hope so many times
I just need someone to help me
Build a bridge of love
So I can Climb
Out of the depths of my sorrow
That slowly takes my life
I'm trying to keep my faith
But I've lost sight of the Shoreline
And I'm losing count of all my prayers
I don't know how long
I'll last, Im running out of Time
I keep being pulled under
Because my past will always Strike
It never stops haunting me
And in the sea I cannot Hide
I'd rather lose to all these waves
Because there's no more
Strength inside me
Every time I almost make it
The waves of course, remind me
That I'm one breathe away
From dying
