You try to run away
Like the tides of the waves
You go out and back in
Just to flow away again
But where will the ripples lead you to?
The deeper the water
The deeper the truth
To sink in and let go
Is the only way to know what lies below.

You are speaking from the 3rd perspective, using the metaphor of the river in regard to live . . I'd like to know what it was like to be in a river when you can't swim . . most don't survive.

I like this poem, especially the last two lines. A lot of things in life like that, isn't there? You have to just go for it.
The title that came to my mind was "Learning to Swim."

Instead of waxing poetic
You should be more aquatic!
Please, for your own future safety, learn to swim.

some pieces don't require titles. enough is stated well to draw accuracy from piece itself
