I look around and see a sea.

A sea that is dark,

surrounding, covering, drowning me. 

I struggle to see light.

I fight for air. 

I try to decide if I even truly care.

I look around and see a sea.

A sea that is dark,

Trying to consume me.

In that sea I find a light.

In that light I found the air.

The air that gave me the will to fight,

and the will to care. 

I look around and I am free.

Down in that dark sea,

I no longer see me.

I look around at all the light.

I take a moment and breathe the air.

I know now how much I truly need to care.
