I'm swimming in the middle of the ocean
Getting tired
Waiting for a boat or a plane to see me
Waiting for my rescue
Occasionally
I find something to float on
And look at the clouds, thinking
Okay, maybe this is not so bad
I let myself relax
Relieved, sleep
And wake to find
I have rolled back into the water
And there is nothing now
Nothing
To keep me afloat.
I think to myself
It might be easier
To let myself sink
I'm so tired
And no one is looking for me.
I tread water and scream
Wait for the arrival
Of a boat, a plane
Or even
Just another soul
Lost at sea.
