I wish I were someone else
Anyone else but me
Just to escape if but for a fleeting minute
The waves of sadness that wash over me
Right when I start to float
I'm swept down by the undertow
Back into my ocean of grief
The rivers of sorrow run deep
And meet at a tributary of despair
I try my best to tread the waters
Swimming when I can
Towards a shore that seems to move further away
With every stroke I take
When the waves keep mounting
And my only option appears to be drowning
I remember how long it took to sail here
Then doggy paddle towards the coast
And every day I know I'm a little closer to land
