Swimming Pool


Diving head first into a pool is deadly Especially if its a pool full of emotions There you are almost drowning Multiple times i offered you a life jacket but you refused my offer Now your searching for the lifeguard on duty to come and rescue you Well stop looking because this life guard is on break and will be back 10 minutes to never Now all you can do is tred water but as you see that's not making the situation better As you can see your still almost drowning Now as your ego slowly pulls you under the surface of the water inch by inch You look up to the reflection above you, you see the person you've been hiding Hiding from the wrong person When i threw you those life jackets that should've proven that i was here to help you But you didn't see it that way To you I was just another person trying to dunk you in the deep end To you i was the one who dunked you in 9 feet and left you But wasn't it me who extended my arm to save you from something i wasn't responsible for While your under choking on your own ego and its air you seek As you look up through the water And now as you Reap What You Sow Remember who was always there to save you...Me
