Swim

In the wee hours of the night
not a soul in sight
the sky has turned black
the world is on my back
somber and hurting
the lump in my throat is burning
I let those tears fall
they break down my wall
the wall I built so strong
the one that lasted this long
But now it's become a thing of the past
because those tears are falling fast
Even if I were to try
I wouldn't - couldn't stop the cry
Engulfed in an ocean of tears
Yelling out, does someone hear?
The river rises deeper and higher
I can drown in despair
but I decide to
swim.
