Below The Surface

Below the calm surface
Hides a deep past
Is this paradise real
Or just a clouded wake
Beyond the smiling face

A vortex, my thoughts
Drowning myself
In this shallow pool
Do I really believe
That these waters
Will wash away
My silent tears

Ripple from a fallen drop
Distorts the image I think I see
Revealing clear waters
The only real threat being
This reflection before me
