I was once a champion surfer
The mighty king of waves
Brimming with confidence I would glide
Displaying feats of acrobatics
I believed I could tame all of the ocean
Until I came to a land afar
On new shores to conquer higher tides
Leaping forward at the opportunity
My mates cheered me on as I left
But times have changed since then
Sinking and gasping for breaths of air
I struggle to remain afloat
In despair, devoid of all hope
I sometimes wonder if I've forgotten
The art of surfing altogether
Or if I ever knew how to swim at all
Eyes closed, mustering all the courage left
I jump in once again to redeem my pride
To fight these unforgiving waves
Till either they give in, or I die trying!
