I jumped into the river and forgot how to swim

Contributed by Vic on Friday, 18th September 2020 @ 01:29:24 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



A mighty cloud of black is spread across my mind
What/'/s real and cold, what/'/s cruel and kind?
When you are bright you have to face the dim
I jumped into the river and forgot how to swim

Life ain/'/t no game, no scripted show
We share what we know and then learn some more
The lass of luck could be stout or slim
If you want to jump into the river remember to swim

Everybody needs somebody to care
To inspire from here to there
While married to misery why is the Reaper so grim?
/'/Cause he jumped into the river and forgot how to swim

I guess in some ways life is like a river.
You have to tackle it head on, push through it and try to stay afloat as long as you can.
Keep swimming

Truer words were never spoken; I can relate to the metaphor.
This was a fantastic write.
