Wet socks above my sole,

I know this water

will someday help a flower grow

But for now

it hurts.

it’s freezing my life in death row

I know this water

will someday help a boat move.

But for now

it’s painful.

it’s drowning my toes in misery

Depriving me from victory.

Wet socks above my sole

But I can still touch the ground.

I won’t let them get me down.
