Life Saver

Cry me a river let the tears dry up, but this river flows into an ocean. The floodgates open, drown in pain and suffering as the rest of the world stands uopn islands. I look up to see eyes past the surface. The choppy water makes them dance, looking al lthe more intimidating. Beneath these waves of emotion i have been broken, but at least down here there is silence. I have found an escape from those eyes, eyes filled with judgement, hatred, and disgust. They would like to see me perish in this sea of tradgey.

Shutting my eyes i begin to let go, why blame them for my heartache? When I’m the one who allowes their cruelity into my heart. They didn’t push me. I jumped. I jumped. I jumped. Scrambling now, my lungs begging for air, my body screaming for life. The distance to the top is far too great…then someone pulls my dead body weight back towards the sun light and i take in sweet oxygen. I then look into the eyes of my rescuer. These are different. Instead of judgment they say forgiven, instead of hatred they say love, instead of disgust they say hope. I then expect to be put back on land with the eyes that i can not bear to see, but the savior took me higher, past the land and into the clouds where peace was restored. The redeemer gives me a drink of living water. I throw my head back and laugh with joy.
