How deep is this ocean?
I drowned first, I then sank
With each gasp ever deeper
No longer can I see the sky
Just the darkness
That surrounds my thoughts
That numbs my emotions
I can stand no more
As a new bottom appears
Then fades away
In this endless dive
To the deepest corners
To the loneliest moments
Far beyond any embrace
I learned to swim
In these depths
To breath again
To drown no more
To see the sky, and the sun
How to expain?
Who would believe?
Drowning saved me
Drowning taught me how to swim
To live again
To stay afloat
And move toward the sky
And to this ocean I say
Thank you
