Salt Sack

You pushed me out to sea today

And hoped to watch me drown

All I had was my baggage

You thought it'd weigh me down

And as I drifted out

I floated out until the raft was sinking

I gasped for air

I coughed salt water

I couldn't help but drink in

I jumped ship; you couldn't see me.

You thought I'd breathed my last

I started swimming towards the shore

From which I had been cast

I struggled back until

You were sure that I would die

But I found a strength, a will, a hate

I couldn't pacify

So I made it back

I fought back, was almost to your shore

You had something in your hands for me

A braided crown of thorns

Then I turned around

I swam away, never to look back

I'm no more the fool

Who would die and know a salt sack
