SINK OR SWIM
I will not sink, I choose to swim even after all the heartache sets in.
I cannot swim and Im slowly sinking, my world is crumbling and indefinatly shrinking.
The heavy anchor that binds my ankles so tight is weighing me down and suffocating my fight.
Trying so hard to keep my head above the rising water of my tears, Im sinking deep in the love I lost and facing all my fears.
The pain that I dwell in reminds me that Im still alive, and in that pain comes the willingness to survive.
I will not sink I choose to swim, and with that thought I'll breathe you in.
I'm lingering on top and staying afloat, because for every sunken ship along comes a rescue boat.

why???
I mean why to swim???
why to go against the nature???
you know you are sinking...so let it go.
eventually you'll sink as the anchor is heavy
so either throw the anchor away and swim with all your grace,
or just be it as it is, and sink with all its grace.
Pain is never needed as a reminder of life,
life is a pure joy, no pain.
pain is there because you are not accepting that you'll sink despite all your efforts.
so don't wait for any rescue boat (there is no boat), be your own boat.Don't stay afloat.Move on.
sink or swim!
choose only one.
Don't swim for the sake of survival.
Sink for the pure joy of sinking, you can never attain it by swimming, against your nature.We are bound to sink.We should sink.
We are not that light at all.
But sink in love that you've had, as you never loose it.
It was not given to you, it was always there in you, so can never be lost.
But even then you want to swim, then just crush the chains,throw the anchor and SWIM.
Swim in the love you have within.
I'm sorry if it hurts you, but I simply cannot stop myself writing this.
why not?
It does not hurt or offend me your comments....I am merely expressing myself and my feelings at hand. My heart is aching and my head is filled with an abundance of confusion. So in my words of sink or swim I want to do both but cant Im just stuck so to speak. It is your opinion and if I was affraid of what others might say I wouldnt put it out there 2 be read. I have to believe in my feelings and go through the pain I feel in order to move on....maybe its my way of coping. But I appreciate your comment be as it may. I write to take the burden off my chest and mind pertaining to what I am going through at the moment as controdictorary as it may seem. Sink or swim is a play on emotions in my head as I am debating with myself which will come first b/c for me I have to sink before I can swim.
i really like the last line
i really like the last line =)..great ending.."because for every sunken ship along comes a rescue boat."
thanks.
thank you!! It holds some truth I guess things may get lost at sea but they are always looked for :)
SINK OR SWIM
IN LIFE THERE ARE EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE ASPECTS AND BEING ABLE TO SWIM THROUGH A BIG WAVE OF NEGATIVITY IS A PLUS IN ITSELF,NEVER GIVE UP.
I agree
I agree with you...I think that being able to embrace life's misfortunes only makes you stronger in the end. And when I wrote this I was stuck in between the emotions of my breakup its my metaphor. Thanks for the feedback!!
