The water rises above my knees
It\'s gotten to where I can barely breathe
Waves turn into tidal waves
There\'s always a price to pay
I\'m in risky waters and I\'m trying to swim
No matter how much I try, I can\'t escape them
Surrounded by my own tears
Mixed in with overwhelming fears
Sharks are surrounding me
I\'m going under to where I can\'t even see
The sharks start to attack
I try to fight back
The sharks have lost
But at what cost
I\'ve lost a lot of blood
And just when the worst is over
Here comes a flood
I\'m dragged back under
I have resurfaced
Don\'t know what I did to deserve this
But the worst has yet to come
A tsunami has arrived
Don\'t know where it came from
But it\'s right on time
I\'ve managed to survive
The water starts to rise
A storm is coming
I\'m surprised I\'m not drowning
The storm has finally passed
I\'m safe at last
I\'m still alive
But I don\'t know if I can take it this time
It\'s over now
It\'s calmed down
The water is now at my waist
Now I just need to wait
Whatever is coming I\'ll face it head on
Or else I\'ll be gone
With the water at my feet
I can really breathe
I\'m relieved
I\'m finally free
From the fears holding me back
Keeping me away from myself
It was only showing me the past
But I broke free and I did it without help
