Life vs death


lost in a sea of waves

left with-out a hope, cast out to sea

not a life jacket in sight, and no one knows your there

gone with out a trace, not coming back

i took my last breath and let myself go

as i began to lose contentiousness i felt someone pull me to the surface

i never thought i'd be so grateful for air in my lungs

i had so many thoughts where i thought i would be my last

i'd tried so hard and no one knew but then when i finally gave up.....

there was a boat coming to get my, i felt saved

when all my strength is gone and i let go,there always someone to catch me

now i stay at land where safely is available

where i know people will be there for me

no need to be off at sea when my friends and family are there for me at land
