You say you know better. You have been on this Earth longer than me.
You saw the culmination of faults write the books I've read in school.
You saw the Moon go many shades and the Sun still light your life.
You act like a giant and say I stand upon your shoulders.
Yet, the water is still above my head.
The sacrifices you made weren't enough to afford me a life vest.
So, I'm drowning...maybe....just maybe I'll drown your demons along with mine.
