There are so many thoughts to choose from
So many feelings to sort through
Do we ever really figure ourselves out?
Maybe you tell yourself
That your life is under control
Maybe not thinking about it
Is the only way to make it throught the day
Or maybe
It's just easier to forget

Now what if those walls crumbled
The barriers destroyed
And those thoughts
Those feelings
Came back to you
Flooding your mind

Have you taught yourself how to swim
Or would you be carried away by the current
And drown in your thoughts
Your emotions
Everything you tried to hide
But in the end failed
Faltered behind that well crafted mask

But in the end
Don't we all?
How can we truly think
That something so real
So true
Can be hidden forever?

Eventually
Those walls will crumble
The barriers will be destroyed
And the flood will come
Have you taught yourself how to swim?
