Drowning

It's all going a bit crazy in here  
Lost in these shadows I'm thinking the worst
I'm losing my mind I fear  
Or I will if these waves don't swallow me first.  
 
Waves fold in on me.  
Arms which bind me to the grey  
Torture and enslave me  
A raging storm does come my way.  
 
The sea whom I once called a friend,
Her mermaids change to demons black  
They tear my sane from deep within  
Refuse to give my whole heart back.  
 
They hold me under long enough  
That I can glimpse the other side  
But here is peace the world can't know  
A place the tortured soul can hide.  
 
And as I do relax, succumb  
I breathe in salty water deep,  
My lungs begin  to gently fill  
My soul does gently fall asleep.  
 
How easy it would be to drift  
To feel those demon waves no more  
Then like a bolt of lightning strikes!  
I find my body on the shore.  
 
A magic cloak around me tight,  
A voice which speaks to me;  
"You lost your way, you lost your sight  
And so my light you failed to see."  
 
They lift me up, unfold my wings  
And guide me to the sky  
Their words of light empower me  
Reminding me that I must fly.  
 
"The universe is deep inside you  
You are power, you are light,  
So when you drown and lose your way  
You don't give up!  
Girl you fight!"
