(I was sent here by someone who thought I might find it useful for my own process; I think in lyrics, so have these:

I hope I never see
The ocean again
Pushing and pulling at me
As I go deeper and deeper in
Til I'm so far from my shore
So far from what I came here for
I let you surround me
I let you drown me
Out with your din
And then I learned how to swim

Swim, Ani DiFranco.)
