Push and pull
Like the tide
always pulling
back and forth
never knowing
if this will be the
time when the cool
salty water will
finally caress your toes
jumping in and out
not deciding, almost fearing
but at the same time
you want it, more than anything
you long for the cool touch
but dread the sand stuck between your toes
everytime it comes down
to the exact same thing
the tide never comes to the same place twice
and neither do you
Make up your mind
decidde now while im here
do you want to be stuck in
the sand never knowing
how the cool touch of the water feels
or do you want to dive in, head first
no matter how much pain it can cause
knowing the waves can over power you
so take a breath
close your eyes
now jump
either to the waves or to the sand
knowing you can never choose again
Do you like what you see?
are you surrounded by water?
or are you still stuck in the sand
not deciding and not choosing?
Ive jumped now you decide
will you save me, or yourself?
