I stand frozen
I watch as the tap trickles to a halt
I wait as the bath fills
They represent my tears
The ones I try to pretend aren't falling

I shake
Shake like the ripples that have created
I stand before myself
The scariest thing I have done
And I don't even see myself
Who or what have I become

Life is something you should crave
A gift but you don't know how great
Until it's just too much too late

I almost returned my gift
I almost said no thanks
I almost missed those moments
I almost missed myself
