Swimming Upstream

March 8, 2021

I'm so tired
of always swimming upstream
I want to let the current
sweep me away

The waterfall's behind me
roaring, crashing, calling
Telling me how easy it'd be
to stop swimming

There may be no break for me
no place to rest my head
If I give up now
would it be so bad?

There are people counting on me
Real and imaginary
Stories untold or cut short
Lives torn to pieces

So I'll keep swimming upstream
With dreams in my heart
For those that need me
I won't give up
