Break water
Break the surface
For one gulp of air
Before I was pulled back under
(by my own arm, incidentally)
I don't know what I need
Or what's best for me
So far I've been lucky
But now
What am I doing back here?
Didn't I get enough
The first time around?
This is more than me
Nostalgic
This is what was buried
Unearthed
I guess that I'm worried
(Big surprise, I know)
That my efforts to connect
Have been misled
But what to expect
What with me circumspect
Behind bars
And underfed
