Ocean

Safe on the surface in my little boat,
I will never look down to the depths below,
Fall in and I sink, up here I will float,
I will never look down to the depths below.
Murky water, endless plane of blue and green,
I won't let the current take me under.
Days blend together like sand and sea,
I won't let the current take me under.
Creatures much bigger than the ship I sail,
The uncertainty of what lies beneath.
I swim and I scuffle yet to no prevail,
The uncertainty of what lies beneath.
If I dive in, I will find I can thrive,
Because the ocean is only in my mind.
