Day to day life becomes more of a struggle during these trying times.

My river of existence flows upward

As I struggle with the narrowing width

While the depth of my water shallows

To that level which cannot sustain joy

The uphill battle to flow consistently

Becomes my daily task, my climactic war

Of a dependency on bettering my life

    To dream is free, but you must be willing to pay the price. Keep moving and you will be where you want to be.
