I had a dream that I was drowning
But it wasn’t like they say –
That it’s peaceful, you accept it
And you slowly drift away.
No, it was chaos. It was panic.
I just couldn’t get a grip
Onto the ledge of that massive pool.
Every time I thought I did, I’d slip.
What if the me in my subconscious
Is the one who feels this way
From all the stress and judgement
I put on her every day?
I guess I’ll be more mindful.
I didn’t mean to put her down.
The last thing that I want
Is for that part of me to drown.
