I don'tΒ Β want to drown in my tears
I want to swim to shore
I want to live
But, how can I live, if all I do is cry
When will I swim to shore, today, tomorrow, or the next day?
I am drowning, slowly, but, surely in the depths of my tears
So heavy are these bags which I carry
Can't wait till I hit the shore, so, that I may lay my bags down, rest my aching bones and run wild, run free
Run with joy, because, I have not drowned in the depths of my tears
I have survived
No more burdens to bear
No more bags to carry
I am free
Free to smile and be myself again
The one, who was meant to be
