The Line

I don\'t feel great right now

like I\'m all lost at sea

I need to take some time,

some time just for me.

 

These seas are so rocky

it feels like my ship is sinking,

my head hurts from lack of sleep,

I wish I could stop thinking.

 

I throw myself overboard

and swim for the beach,

tossed around by the swell

the shore looks so far out of reach.

 

Exhausted and drained

I crawl out from the sea

soaked to the skin,

but feeling more like me.

 

Bare-foot in the rain,

drawing the line in the sand,

I\'ve had all I can take,

and all that I can stand.

 

Yesterday was theirs

but tomorrow is all mine, 

I\'m standing on the beach

and I\'m drawing a line.

 

I can\'t take this much more,

I can\'t go on any longer, 

so I\'m marking the line

and I\'m coming back stronger.

 

Fourth of the fourth, Twenty-four,

tomorrow is the date,

I start all over again,

and I cannot wait.
