When the water reaches overhead,
Your lungs can't gasp beyond the dread,
You've broken down, you've cried and bled,
but don't shut down.
When the floor falls 'way beneath your feet,
Your dry mouth has no words to speak,
The rhythm fails, you missed a beat,
but don't shut down.
I coax you from your corner cave,
I drag your mind far from the grave,
And all I had to give, I gave;
Please.
Don't shut down.
I reach out to you again and again. I never gave up on you, and I cherish your growth.
When you have those dark days, it hurts to watch you shut down again.
