Afloat


I try to stay a float never get caught up in the wrong situations or hang with the wrong crowd I just keep to myself Yet , I'm trying to keep afloat trying not to drown in this river called life that pulls me to the bottom trying to get me to sink I try to stay afloat trying my hardest not to let go ..I hold on as much as I can but I ask how much longer must I hold on ..river gets deeper and deeper full of the struggles and pain with its undertow pulling me downward while I'm just trying to stay afloat ...I can't take it I want to let go ...but this voice is telling me "No" so I hold on just trying to stay afloat on in this river called life that's trying to get to sink to the bottom.
