Carefully the water swells up my feet
Carefully pulling me into the deep
Carefully the wind pulls me in close
Carefully I think about what hurts the most
Carefully they peek at me through watchful eyes
Carefully observing I'm trying to hide
Carefully the rain whispers to me
Carefully promising to one day set me free
Carefully I whisper back to the rain
Carefully listening to the sound that has always sang
Carefully placing one foot in front of the other
carefully I walk back to my father
Carefully he looks me up and down
Carefully covering up his frown
Carefully he does one of those sighs
Carefully I make sure not to roll my eyes
Carefully I turn my back to the ocean
Carefully reminding myself not to fall in the motion
Carefully I realize all of this did not help me see my obsession
Carefully I sink back into my depression
