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
