Anew.
Sometimes when i close my eyes
I dream i'm far away
a beach, a river, or a puddle
where i can sink or just decay
I look into the water
to see my reflection blank and sad
because its not really me
being blank is just the fad
Just when i start to drown
and realize i never was alive
I see a hand reaching down
and a child who has just dived
They lift me up without a word
as i sputter choke and cough
I stare at them in bewilderment
but they don't even scoff
"You've pulled me out a million times"
they give me a towel without complaint
then we just watch the sunset
which is prettier then i can paint
Though i have no reason to object
and my life is full of thank(s)
i can't deny it still hurts like hell
to see a reflection blank
But its worth it when i see that child
the child that i raised
dive in the water without fail
without even looking dazed
To think i raised such a family of youngings
so beautiful and new
makes me never want to drown again
It makes me want to feel....
Anew
That's pretty much what i'm feeling.
