We fight to stay afloat
Standing in a boat called life
Only able to leave behind a note
Scarred from the cuts of a knife
Once they said to me:
Life will only become harder
Beyond comfort is a never ending sea
Swayed back and forth; pushed out farther
Drowning and then saved
A repetitive vicious cycle
Wanted then no longer craved
But surviving this life is crucially vital
We all try to go with the flow
Pressured but never forced
Just trained to believe we know
Our minds taken never endorsed.
