Rising tide

Written about depression and anxiety but focuses on how i have personally overcome these barriers!

I lie on my back in an endless blue lagoon
With each wave that hits I stumble and fall
But even the biggest waves can not keep me down

There are times I feel I'm drowning...my lungs becoming void of air
But I always manage to hold my breath...as I see you standing there

Other times I'm drifting...I have ignored your warnings and swam out too far
I may need a rope to pull me in...someone to take me in their arms

I'm worried about what's underneath me and what I might have to face
And because I worry about what might happen i forget the beauty of this place

I begin to lose control and start to panic...I don't know what to do
I have been here for too long and do not know how to reach you

I start to think this is all there is...to living a normal life
But there must be more to the world than this...water as cold as ice

Then as I look out to the space around me I see I'm not alone
You are all swimming with me...and i know i have swam home!
