be still. . .

even as you feel
the waves coming towards you,
even as the water
reaches your chin
and you feel the pull
of the ocean beneath you

hold still. . .

don't thrash around
your sudden movements
would only draw you deeper
you would only feel more trapped

do not resist. . .

you are fighting
a losing battle
against the current
threatening to carry you
far away from
your comfort zone
your safe haven

i'm not gonna let you drown. . .

i'll pull you up
each and every time
i won't let you sink
if i do, i'll plummet with you
i'm not gonna let you go. . .

just promise you'll hold on to me. . .

i'm not gonna let you go
