Spine - Rising to my reflection

Light reflects from the surface and I flounder - I can’t see or hear
And freezing now, weightless in suspension - Maybe now I can hope

Barbs of sunlight...I could drown here

I’m changing inside, becoming someone else - Maybe I could grow to be like you
I could live that way and no longer question - What life has made me

Breaking the surface tension, Drawn back to the world
From the bottom of an ocean, driven from the light
I can feel alive

This feeling eludes me
Signs…definition escapes me
Fear…too cold to hope
Death…life suffocates me

Driven from the light and I’m caught up inside
Myself…it’s the only prison I ever made
You don’t get the joke that I’m my only enemy
And I blame everyone else for my inertia

This I understand…tearing away
This I understand.
