Water

Water 

Fresh or salted

Longing to feel it

On my skin

I have already repented

For all of sins

Like a fish 

Out of water

I'm flopping about

Now the question is:

When will I swim?

I got my trunks and how

I'm ready for a dive

I'm ready for some mild heat

I need to save my money

And get off of the street

And this is my only dilemma

Believe it or not 

This is the only dire thing

That weighs heavy on my heart 

Don't know how strange 

It is for you 

You can call me poor

But all of us need water daily

And I've grown weary

Of all my chores

I need to take a dip

And bathe and have a little drink

You do too

But you think I am weak

That's not true 

Because I've remained hopeful

For freedom 

My faith

My independence

My way of life 

And how I'm living

I don't expect a reward

I'm humble 

And the fact that I want to swim

I'm remaining resilient

Wouldn't it be perfect 

If all we did was swim have water to drink

And cook and clean

Ran laps around the track

And rest and read books and stream film

And I'm serious, seriously

We need to change our outlook

Permanently
