Work Text:
As I stand here alone I realize it’s brave
It takes plenty of courage to dive to the deep end
Staring into this big deep grave
I try to yell louder than the booming waves
Trying desperately to yell; ‘friend’
If I jump I’m scared I’ll sink
And become the essence of a sunken ship
With no contact I will shrink
And if I do then no one will think
To check that deep, it’s too big a trip
Just about to lose my spark
You approach my ship with open arms
Attempt to pull me out of the dark
The rainbow, the dolphin, the shell, the shark
Promising me away from further harms
Then you were a life vest, you held me close
Keeping me safe from the terrors below
It kept me afloat, showed that you loved me most
Hugging me until I didn’t feel gross
My faith in the waves no longer so low
Teetering close to the edge of the shore
Here I stand anew, alone
No longer terrified of the strength it bore
When it told me I shouldn’t take any more
Finally safe from the thoughts I would hone
