Love. Dreams. Future. All variables.

Fear, needing to be overcome.

Doubt, dragging me down.

Slowing my ascent.

Struggling to move forward.

Swimming against the flow of the stream.

As if there is no hope of moving forward.

Stand tall forever, never stop moving.

Progress made an inch at a time.

Stand still and be drug under.

Slip backwards in the stream of life.

Get stuck in a deep rooted rut.

You cannot have peace till you've had suffering.

"Life is an incessant series of problems,

All difficult, with brutally limited choices,

. . . . And a time limit."

Time's up.
