Thoughts are all around me
I am swimming in the middle
Trying not to go under
Some are obstacles
That I must swim around
Others push me like the tides
And I fight to swim through
But ahead in the distance
I see what looks like shore
There is a welcoming warm light
There are so many thoughts
Can I ever get past them
Or through them to the other side
I turn around and look
At the distance I have traveled
It gives me hope
That maybe I can tread water
And not get lost in the chaos
