Sink or Swim
Everyday is an internal battle,
a struggle from within.
Each day I have to choose,
am I going to sink or should I swim?
Each day is harder than before,
and each morning finds me further away from shore.
With every fight towards shallow waters,
each grasp I make towards land,
I grow weaker and weaker,
oh how I long to just give in!
But I am a coward,
so I keep moving against the tide.
Today I chose to swim,
but I cannot say how much longer i will fight.
