Seems Safe to Drown

‘Sometimes it seems so safe to drown in the sea

With no opened eyes 

And the silence to feel 

Where there are no claimed lands

Only the whirls stand 

It feels free to go deep

To feel the coldness

As near is the unfelt realm

And the creatures unique 

It shall seem like own’s world 

Letting lose to go by the flow 

It seems so safe to drown in the sea 

But when the eyes would open 

You’ll find a world foreign 

You’ll see what you’re losing 

As you go deep

The sun, the sky and the breeze

A place called home 

It’s not the sea

Where people await 

Not the drowning soul leaves 

You’ll have a will to live

To pull against what pushes you down 

To come up to sky

And hear the lark 

To feel it all start 

Sometimes it feels safe to drown in the sea 

But it won’t let you see

Of what lied ahead 

The hopes you crafted 

All yours that lasted 

Miseries that made you brave 

And challenges that brought wisdom

To rule your kingdom

It’s better 

You breath the air 

Than to find watery grave 

Nothing is safe 

And that’s what makes life appraise 

Cause you’ll still have volcanoes 

And thunders, a commotion under 

It may seem safe to drown in the seas 

But it’s just the same as being in the breeze’
