 I close my eyes,

Picturing the waves in the river,

they go up and down,

life can be a river,

floating slowly down the "river,"

Enjoying life,

Suddenly things start speeding up,

I'm losing control of what I was once doing,

What I was once thinking,

Focusing, trying to get past this difficult task,

Trying hard, not wanting to give up,

But this river and other obstacles are draining the life out of me,

trying one last time with all of my effort,

To get me out of this current,

That is turning me round and around,

I need to let go and let the river take me,

opening my eyes,

realizing that sometimes,

I need to let go of what is making me like this,

Before things can get better
