Unfocused
I’ve heard it’s hard
To come to this
A last resort
So don’t resist
The way I ask
Is not quite clear
Some people think
There is no fear
The fear is there
And all I ask
Is that you see
Past my slipping mask
I’d like to learn
If you could teach me
How to swim
So I could be
One of the
Survivors when
The waters rise
I won’t ask what then
I need the help
I can’t go it alone
Or else I could just
Turn to bone
You might not see it
But the time has come
The seas have risen and
They’ll take my kingdom
I’ve built so carefully
The highest walls
But the ocean finds me
After all
So I will try to remember
All you said that day
But if the sky grows dark
I might just fade away
The water is not wet
Is not the home of fish
The water swallows my
Every dying wish
The seas will rise
The lovely sky will fall
I hope you’ll join the group
The ones who see it all
Maybe I’ll go alone
Might die unnoticed
But is it better than
Living a life unfocused?
I need to learn
To swim real soon
Or this water might
Just take away the moon
The water seems so cruel
What did it do to you?
I do not doubt your pain
Because I feel it too
So teach me
Please
I’m begging you
At an unease
Don’t let me die here
I’m not ready yet
There are still things to do
Behind this thick black net
I feel caught up in
The same winds again
I watched you tear up and
You waved at me; the end
And then you closed your eyes and blew away
I think I hope to do the same one day
