*sigh*

I'm swimming in a sea of emotion
Trying to reach the top to be swept away by the waves of happiness and peace
Instead of being pulled under but the undercurrents of hate and depression
No matter where I am, I am sorrounded by jellyfish of pain and heartache
Grabbing at my skin and leaving permanent scars

Never once have I had a regret
Never once have I let the "what ifs" and "I wishes" take over

I can see the beach
I can hear the laughter
I can almost feel the warm sunshine on my face

The more I try to focus on the positive, the more I ignore the negative
The negative, being ignored, is growing angry and selfish
It is taking me under and I am drowning
I am drowning in my sea of emotion

Never once have I had a regret
Never once have I let the "what ifs" and "I wishes" take over

But as my mother always said, "There's a first time for everything"
