“Above Water”
completed on 9.19.24

like a kite
I feel you lift me
but when you’re breeze fades
i come crashing down

sometimes into a tree
where i can cut myself free
sometimes to the ground
where i can be found

but now i’m sinking underwater
swimming back to you for air
i watch every bubble float away
like moments that can’t ever repeat

waves crashing over me
sinking deeper into the sea
but you’re my life raft
always saving me like witchcraft

like a fish out of water
i’m fighting for air
but you pick me up
saving me time and again

sometimes i’m drowning
but you remind me everything’s ok
your light shines through the darkness
helping me find home

everything’s brighter with you
nothing’s ever felt so true

“crack underneath”
completed on 12.15.15

the sliver of the moon
trying to pierce the night
because it’s better to go out fighting
than be swallowed by the dark

the winding road underneath
dimly lit, covered in sleet
struggling to thaw, avoid the freeze
the change a couple degrees could make

so maybe this is karma
for stealing the sun once underneath
the wind once meant to fill his sail
oxygen too thin for the two of us
the death of everything around us

whether you’re clawing out a landslide
or feeling the ice crack underneath
the uncertainty is the only thing clear
fighting for composure versus everything you fear

the fog of ambiguity
too dense to see the way out
your fear of the unknown
the death of everything you’ve known

the weight of life’s expectations
pressing my face underwater
too suffocating to breathe
gasping for what’s underneath

so maybe this is karma
for pushing the tide against its own
and you hate yourself
for life granting a brand new day
don’t let yourself get in the way
