Build me a bridge

So that I can walk on top of life

Instead of sinking

Into

Existence

-

Let me balance on troubles

Watch them beneath me

My eyes can follow them

Away

Away from me

-

Give me peaceful days

As I walk slowly

Over my pressures

And see them shrink

Silently into nothing.

-

I could swim through water

Battle and fight and curse through time

I could survive

-

I could watch and dream and smile

I could live

-

I won't struggle through dark waters.

So build me a bridge.
