Swimming Pool

This is how I feel.

I was born in a swimming pool
With a tank of air,
Struggling to breathe
And struggling to swim.

It got much easier
As time flowed by,
But the waters got deeper,
And everything went dark.

Where was I going?
And why was I here?
There was no meaning for this,
What do I have to share?

The meaning of life,
I am still unsure,
But I remain hopeful,
The one day it will come.

For now I swim in dark waters,
With sharks and horrible fish,
But I have friends nearby me,
Who'll help me surface
