u know, i was just a few steps away from being out of the water. exhausted, and starved, i moved toward the shore. i was almost safe.

but then u came up and pulled me back down and out in your rip tide. i never saw it coming, and i didnt have a chance. i couldnt swim out, one look and i was sucked under

which way is up?

when i was finally out of your under toe, i found myself floating in the middle of the sea, confused and alone.

an occasional airplane passed overhead, proving that civilization was still somewhere around me. but no real answers, and no help.

well, im tired of treading water, waiting for help, waiting for you to push me back above water and keep my head up.

im swiming. i dont know exactly where yet, couldnt tell you where the shore might be, but im swimming. ill get out by myself.

and you will will catch me again when i am finally only waist deep.
