Drowning

Drowning...

I just stepped in some water and felt a rush, it choked my pride
This thing grabbed my security and true truths begin to divide
Two seconds in, panic approaching the surface of my flesh
Subtracting wintery shivers and adding drowning distress
Stranger me not, I've before camped out here
Blowing up my confidence, Life-jacketing my fear
Non-verbally comforted by the invisible reassurance that you'll always be here
I stepped in
Again and again, carelessly again

I just stepped in some water and felt a rush, it choked my pride
This thing grabbed my oxygen, and rushed inside
Two seconds in, my flesh was cooled pressured down
My own questioning mind ditched insecurity and left it to drown
Stranger me not, I've before camped out here
Negotiating my trust, because THIS TIME your words were far more sincere
Waiting, I stepped not in
Again and again, carelessly again
