deep in the ocean, lost at sea,
but i'm no longer trapped, finally free.
on the sandy floors lays a glistening treasure.
i'm where i belong and left with more time to pleasure.
i dive to grab it with my desperate hands.
thought i grasped it, but it sinks farther in sands.
i try again and again and again and once more.
my sight has been screwed with, and each time is worse than before.
i think i have got it, but then my hands miss,
and i feel like i've fallen down a dark abyss.
all this time feels like a burden, wasted on goals i can't meet.
i'm alone in this vast ocean, prisoned by the waves of my own defeat.
