Drowning Intoxication

Can't you feel the sudden change toward life?

I can swear to you, I'm a different person tonight.

Drowning in an endless sea of mortals, far to flawed

But as of now, I can see I've been tied down for far to long.



I lift my hand toward the sun, smiling brightly toward the sky

For the first time ever, I'm smiling because I'm alive

Suddenly these feelings are emerging, the sudden thirst quenched

I feel the feelings of dispare are finally being put to rest.



My vision hazed with the swirl and aray of color

I can't hold back this stalled inspiration for much longer

The desire to live, after all of the pain I have endured

I'm reaching for the sun this time, I am forever lured.



It's a wine, rich with a delicate taste

It's a wound, finally ceasing to scar and decay

It's a feeling of utter and complete inspiration

I can swear to you, it's a drowning intoxication.

Sad yet poinyent... I like the feel of it. I also feel a bit of mourning in the fifth stanza... it's one that makes you ponder.
