Sink or Swim
Things of the past, now arise faded and gone away
Cannot be changed or even reinvented someday
Should you move on or struggle to make the sacrifice
Your decision right now, responsible for your demise
No one held you here and forced you to stay
You cannot hold onto all the hurt you did pay
Time to awaken to this day and face the reality
The decision made soon a possible calamity
A chance you now have to take, no one by your side
Removing all of your personal pain, put on self pride
Take this as a lesson learned and change yourself
No matter what the outcome, a test all in itself
Whether or not you shall stand up straight and tall
Or taking the other road, collapsing you shall fall
Cannot be changed or even reinvented someday
Should you move on or struggle to make the sacrifice
Your decision right now, responsible for your demise
No one held you here and forced you to stay
You cannot hold onto all the hurt you did pay
Time to awaken to this day and face the reality
The decision made soon a possible calamity
A chance you now have to take, no one by your side
Removing all of your personal pain, put on self pride
Take this as a lesson learned and change yourself
No matter what the outcome, a test all in itself
Whether or not you shall stand up straight and tall
Or taking the other road, collapsing you shall fall

Excellent and I hear every word!!! You shall swim!

To read what you have written I must ask where is the Sun?
Wait for its rising, your day is not done.
You shall ascend above before you sink down,
and find yourself set again on solid ground.
Very nicely done!
