Take A Breath


The water is rising It drags you down As you struggle to swim back up You want to breathe But your lungs are filled With a sea of regret They all warned you But you refused to listen You dived head first Into the icy water Not knowing how deep Your fear could get Now you see death As you drown in your misery This is what it came to You denied who you were And forgot who you are Now the light slowly fades away But there is still hope You have another chance at life Someone loved you enough To help you find the light They pulled you from the water And revived your broken soul Now you can take a breath And find shelter from the cold
