Thalassaphobia

You are a boy who lives by the sea You hear the trickle of a sweet melody The breeze in your hair and the salt on your skin what a difficult life you have lived I am the girl who dives in the deep I swim with the fish: a practice I keep I'll embrace the cold the farther I go so eager to learn; so eager to know Where I am drawn you are repelled the current that pulls me leaves you held You're caught in a trap known as fear It keeps you from seeing the beauty, my dear. Locked in the prison crafted by you You're caught in a poison left to brew I swim in freedom no poison for me Living a life that's pleasant and free. I watch you pacing just feet from the sea. Way off in the distance you can see me You're on an island alone as can be just wanting connection that's deep. One day your fear will be broken You'll wade in the water with nothing but courage No more fear of what hides beneath You'll strive to know, " Just how deep is the sea?"
