dolphin

i'm swimming
swimming
watch me dive
for the first time
i dove
belly-flopped at first
swim to the bottom
away from those
those thoughts
that haunt me
please tell them to leave
they follow me all day
and all night
when i sleep
when my eyes are closed
they are all there

i'm stuck in three stages
with waterfalls
and scorpions
let me find my keys
and move to the next one
i'll dive in and go
just please
let them go

i'll dive
i'll swim away from them
just like a dolphin
i'll be fast
and they won't find me
fast like a dolphin
