I feel despondent right now
like I am sinking in a deep ocean
which seems endless
Somebody is dragging my feet
I’m gasping for breath
There is a weight in my heart
I think of things, it makes me feel worse
So, I try to forget, I try very hard
I’m sinking and I don’t want anyone to save me
Just let me go away with these waves
and the pain in my heart, let me vanish
I’m almost gone but
Suddenly I stand on the ocean bed
and walk towards the coast
I feel the dry, hot sand
with my bare feet
All my pain has evaporated
My heart is light in a flash
I make an effort to detect
the reason of my sadness but
I am unable to find one
and now I soar across the skies
all alone, just me and my soul
