...and how i saved myself from drowning
you'll never know...
slowly, repeatedly raising my head above the water,
i let out a wild laugh or a terrified scream,
take it as you will.
they thought i was a ghost, unseen, uncalled for-
but ghosts don't tell the truth and open your scars now,
do they?
you wanted me gone, wanted to silence me for good
but somehow, in the middle of the night
i came back, burning down the door
with one touch of my hand.
they took me to see the water, praying the wet abyss would
kill my words and take them under,
really down under.
slowly, repeatedly raising my head above the water,
i let out a wild laugh or a terrified scream,
take it as you will.
...and how i saved myself from drowning
you'll never know...
