Maybe I’m here because I didn’t really want to go
This life is overwhelming and my eyes had surely lost their glow
For a while there was nothing anyone could do or say
All I wanted was to find a way to leave, just go away
But I managed to pull myself out from underneath the darkness
It took some time but I did it, regardless
Who what where when and why?
I have no answers for the agony
I just wanted to die
“Tie a knot and hold on, I guarantee”
“When you’ve reached the end of your rope..”
Well I’m no cub scout
But I tied a knot and stayed afloat
I swam to the shore
I wiped the sand off my feet
Put my shoes on
And beamed cheek to cheek
For a smile awaited me on the land
Where I shook off the weight of the world (and the sand)
I’m alive because I didn’t really want to go
This life is overwhelming, I’ve got it this time, though.
