Fears of a Victim
Afraid to go. Afraid to stay.
Why does it always seem that way?
Afraid of here. Afraid of there.
It never seems to matter where!
I cannot run. I cannot hide!
I can't escape from endless tides!
They roll so fast. They come at me,
A victim of the endless sea!
I'm on a beach; I'm out of reach,
Where help does not appear!
Their interest goes as water flows,
But won't remove my fear!
