Skinny dip.

Late night swim with friends

I felt the weight

Lifted from my shoulders

The dryness of air hitting straight

My body weighs less than a feather

A voice inside wants me to wait

She says : don’t jump yet, wouldn’t you rather

Take things slowly, go on a date?

Go to the movies, meet his mother

Why are you living on an excessive rate?

He is not special, he is like the others

Let things sink in, please have some faith

You never listen to me, why do I still bother?

The flow of the water shuts the voice’s hate

Drowns it in passion, straps it like leather

Chokes it with a gasp, tricks it with a bait

The voice surrenders : I guess I believe in fate

Look at the sky now, look at this bright weather

I think you could start over on a clean slate

And the weight kept lifting, made things fresher

I am floating on a higher state

I am hoping that someday things get better

Believing life would always be great.
