I've had just enough time to... keep my nose above water
Taken of the turtle keeping its nose above water in Gunung Lang, Perak, Malaysia
Keeping
my nose above water
That is
what I do
As my
whole body goes under
I fight
to stay afloat
With my
nose just on top
Pulled
down by my weight
The
world upon my shoulders
Pushing
me under
I
struggled to the surface
Push my
nose up above
Desperate
to survive
Another
moment
For...
Maybe a
helping hand
A chance
upon a random log
Or to make
it to dry land on my own
But that
seems so far away…
I paddle
there…
Bobbing
up and down
Grasping
air with every breath
I just
keep going
Keep
reminding -
Courage
is in the struggle
That
spirit is all
Keeping
me
From
going under…
