|
Your soul walks the plank
|
|
Once your journey begins.
|
|
It first could only sink,
|
|
But soon learned to swim.
|
|
|
|
You picked up the pace
|
|
At the sight of life's fins,
|
|
Headlong and headstrong
|
|
Until your head spins.
|
|
|
|
Your childhood caught up
|
|
And took you back under
|
|
|
|
To remind you
|
|
Of the depths
|
|
Your soul sunk
|
|
While you were younger.
|
|
|
|
The atmosphere was heavy already,
|
|
But now the pressure's compounded.
|
|
|
|
The soul remembers
|
|
Its early cries for help
|
|
And cries again
|
|
To find its fears unfounded.
|
|
|
|
We need others
|
|
To lift us
|
|
Once our siren
|
|
Has sounded.
