You're in a boat
Everyone is in a boat
A little boat
Floating
In the middle of the ocean
No one knows what ocean it is
All everyone knows is

I'm in a boat

However
Your boat is different
While everyone is floating
carelessly
You hold a string in one hand
And a chain in the other
A string full of balloons
And a chain with an anchor
You hold tightly
Because
If you let go of the balloons
You will get pulled under
And
If you let go of the anchor
You will get pulled away

It's a fight
Only you participate in
Because everyone else
Just floats

But
What if this fight
Is a beautiful thing
No one else gets to experience
What's under the sea
or off the water
What would your life be like
Without these balloons
and this anchor

You look around you
Don't these people get bored?
They just sit
As for me
My arms are getting a lot stronger
