I’m floating on a raft in the middle of the ocean, Left either to be drowned Or paddle toward an unknown shore. Panic and fear, Like filling lungs with oxygen, Over the vast, deep-blue water. Scorching sun by day, Freezing dark by night. A starving soul in a trembling body. Flickers of hope, Hands burning, Keeping my head above... The water.

Sink, Or Swim
I’m floating on a raft in the middle of the ocean, Left either to be drowned Or paddle toward an unknown shore. Panic and fear, Like filling lungs with oxygen, Over the vast, deep-blue water. Scorching sun by day, Freezing dark by night. A starving soul in a trembling body. Flickers of hope, Hands burning, Keeping my head above... The water.
