Swim
I never learned how to swim,
And now I'm drowning in my thoughts.
My ears are full of water,
My side is cramping up.
The goggles you gave me are foggy
And my lungs are shriveling up.
I feel the water in my brain,
Swirling around my thoughts.
One moment I think
you love me
,
The next,
you love me not
.
And maybe if I learned to swim,
Maybe things would've worked out.
But I guess we'll never know,
My mind is now full of doubt.
But even great swimmers
Sometimes need help.
That's why there's lifeguards at the Olympics
Alongside Michael Phelps.
But I never learned how to swim,
And I'm drowning in my own thoughts.
But you said you would teach me,
It's too late, I'm seeing dark spots.
So let me sink to the bottom of the pool,
Where swimmings not important anyhow.
