Viscous ocean

I’m screaming at the top of my lungs
But no one can hear
I’m searching all the possible places
But no one is there

I jump and wave to call for attention
But no one can see
I’m trapped inside a double-glazed bubble
And can’t be set free

A silent film
In slow-motion
Bogged down
In a viscous ocean
A frozen cry
Of pent-up devotion

I run and run with all my strength
Until I drop
Doggedly I’m pulling out
All the stops

But no matter how hard I try
To reach my goal
When I look back I realize
I haven’t moved at all
