“Swim”
completed on 2.11.12
all my life
i only had to swim downstream
the rain showered me in love
and storms always passed over me
but then a hurricane
threw me into stormy seas
felt like i was drowning
life’s sadness washing over me
this time i have to swim my way out
even though i’m choking
and gasping for air
i won’t stop kicking ’til i reach the shore
no one may notice
and i don’t really care
this time i have to fight for a better life
smile until they can’t help but stare
’cause we all need love as much as we need air
