She took a plunge.
Through the shallows,
she tried; she sunk.
She hid in the shadows.

She once saw how gloomy
it was under the sea.
She once forgot to care and said,
"Whatever will be will be."

People there drink and drown,
people there win and cry,
people there fight and lose;
some don't even know why.

It was cold and dark.
You couldn't get enough air
unless you drown
like you just don't care.

But something made her try
to float and go back
in the shallows, and she's happy
though some things lack.

Back when she drowned in tears,
she asked why people are happy
over shallow things, but now,
she knows, before, she was just lonely.
