testing_the_waters
mon will i sink or swim
testing the waters
to someday dive in
let life devour me
entirely give_in
glow like a meteor
new seeds new hope
dream new dawn

sab testing the walls

breaking the waters
scraping the walls

cry me a river
while i wait,
wait,

free and clear still means
more tests

if they say that alcoholics
are always alcoholics
even when theyre dry as my lips
for years

then if im still being tested
every 6 months
how is that clear?



assuming
of course
that i get that


ive never been really good
at passing tests


and the opposite of passing
is to
fail
fail
fail

failing
fading away
falling
im falling
falling to grey

regretfully
i guess i've only got three
simple things to say:
why me?
why this now?
why this way?
with overtones ringing
and undertows pulling away
under a sky that is grey
on sand that is grey
by an ocean that's grey
