I like swimming at the surface
Feeling the sun warm my skin
Relaxed by the view
With a smile on my face

Then someone joins the water
Heaviness in heart
Latching onto me

I stay up top for a while
But my skin gets colder
My view becomes darker
No smile on my face

I fight for the sun
Kicking my legs and waving my arms
But they keep hanging on
I continue to sink
No light in sight

I stayed down so long
Forgot there was a brighter side
Darkness was all I knew

Then I saw a flicker
I got curious and swam
The flicker became a beam
And I a familiar warmth
I got closer
Almost touching the surface
Almost

I hesitated to touch what I knew before
Before I sank
And I can sink again

But looking where I was now
And the progress I made
I thought I'd give the light another shot

And it took me in
But didn't hold me close
It made me fall
And will always make me fall
So I would appreciate it more
