Pieces

I, like a rock, sink

Sinking til I hit the bottom

The water is much deeper than I thought

I can nothing to swim with

Kicking but I keep sinking

A lesson that no one could have ever taught

I can almost breathe the air

Right beyond my fingertips

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

One more push and I'll be there

Back where I belong

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

I see the picture

Blurry but now it's in focus

A fairy tale I purchased on my own

I finally woke up

Everything is better

A chance for me to open up and grow

I can almost breathe the air

Right beyond my fingertips

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

One more push and I'll be there

Back where I belong

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

Suffocating sinking further almost everyday

Barely treading water knowing I will not give up

I will not give up

I will not give up

I will not give up

I will not give up

I can almost breathe the air

Right beyond my fingertips

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces

One more push and I'll be there

Back where I belong

I'll turn around and pick up the pieces
