Mermaid

Washed away in a wave of woe
Wearily fighting against the tide
Weighted down by a thousand fears
Waiting to drown

Stopping the struggle
Starting to sink
Stunned by silence
The sound of the end
Surrendering

Though it hurts
To open my eyes
Stings and burns
I open my eyes
And now I see
Now I realise
I’m still alive

I can breathe down here
I can swim under water
I’m not scared anymore
I’ve become…
