I swim alone, under a wave that is not my own.
I cry sometimes when I am happy. And then laugh at myself. I am funny.
Why does she dance away? I want to follow.The time is not right, I am needed here, but I fear...
That she will never come back.
Why does the wind blow the water away?
I can't swim well anymore. I seem to stray.
The music is strong, and loud.
I love to move and dance... in my mind I am proud.
I feel everything until I am numb, I don't know if that is enough?
I can't answer myself.
The water it still moves, but stays the same.
Such a shame...
That I can't do the same.
The time is not right, I must stay.
I must stay, not go away.
I keep learning to sing some song I have never heard.
I hope I can remember the music I had learned.
Maybe one day I will know. I am too scared to go, now and do what I know must be done.
How do you find courage, when you know there is none? When it is not there, when you know its been done?
Questions take time. Time away from myself. I don't do anything. It stops me more. I float continuously, further out from shore.
I wish I could fly, but now is not the time for me. I need, at first, to see.
I found someone once, and I swam so far.
I swam so far, I was so happy to swim! Why did he leave me? Alone.
So far from home.
Now I don't know where I am. I am lost and can't get back to where... where was I?
I'm not sure
Anymore.
I swim alone, under a wave that is not my own.
