• How am I supposed to see through this black water?
    It’s unclear and contaminated,
    There seems to be something
    that’s moving within it,
    It’s not the water itself that’s clouding my view,
    It’s the murky figure.
    Do I risk touching it?
    Maybe if I swipe my hand through quickly.
    Eventually I will have to pass through,
    The time is coming quickly.
    How about I just forget about it completely,
    I don’t pass through the black water;
    I could just pretend,
    Pretend like it’s not there,
    Pretend like it doesn’t matter,
    That would be silly.
    How about I just get back
    to trying to find a way through this black water.
