Claustrophobia

I see the sun's soft, golden light,
It caresses everything in sight
I move around, feeling my blood course,
And then there's no end and no source
I'm too expansive, too alive,
I breathe deep, readying myself for the dive,
And then i release...such a perfect sensation,
I exalt in my own edification.

And to step away from this?
To push my own head under some dark abyss?
Where has that feeling of freedom gone?

I get pushed deeper like some pawn,
All I want to do is emerge
And explode out of the waters in a surge,
To see for myself, just once more,
That the sun hasn't left us forevermore
