I feel like
I'm drowning in a sea
of happiness,
But I am still drowning.
I am slowly forgetting how to swim.
I love the water, the feel of it. The way it dances around my skin like
I'm safe.
Like.
Not really. Because I am not where
I want to be, not who
I want to be.
So I will save myself from drowning and instead of swimming, I will get a boat.
Let's go away.
Let's make a difference.
Even though it feels safe the way it is,
don't forget how to swim.
So I will keep looking at the water from a distance and
when I am ready, I will
Jump in again.
Let's make the most of it,
let’s learn how to dive.
Same water, a different sea.

I feel like
I'm drowning in a sea
of happiness,
But I am still drowning.
I am slowly forgetting how to swim.
I love the water, the feel of it. The way it dances around my skin like
I'm safe.
Like.
Not really. Because I am not where
I want to be, not who
I want to be.
So I will save myself from drowning and instead of swimming, I will get a boat.
Let's go away.
Let's make a difference.
Even though it feels safe the way it is,
don't forget how to swim.
So I will keep looking at the water from a distance and
when I am ready, I will
Jump in again.
Let's make the most of it,
let’s learn how to dive.
Same water, a different sea.
