One Too Many Times

Why, when you learn how to swim ?
Why does it always have to be in the deep end ?
Is it because this is the only place where you are forced to do something ?
Or is it because the unknown is your only true friend ?

Why is it when you can't feel the floor for the first time
Does the unknown make you aware of its' arrival
Gut wrenching feelings of adrenalin
Because now it's about survival

Why is it when you are picking up pieces
Of your former self off of the floor
Do you look at things differently
Hoping opportunity will knock on your door

Opportunity to get back what once was
Get back something to have deep inside
Get back some sort of life
Get back some of your lost pride

What happens when your heart gets broken
One too many times
What happens when your world crashes
One too many times

What happens
Is what happens
One too many times
