Hard (re)cover

It’s been difficult
 
Going down
And back to surface
 
It’s been difficult
And necessary

To continue breathing
 
It has been taking my breath away
Which with strength I recover
 
Throwing myself at the sea
Thrusting my body to normality
 
And it has been necessary
 
To see the sun
And forget
 
The shadow that hunts me
And comes from your fading eyes.'
