Analysis of Swim
I’ve lost track of the weeks,
started
losing motivation,
losing momentum.
Or rather gaining momentum?
Moving like a snowball, rolling downhill,
all control lost, spiraling.
No doubt, collision, just around the corner,
waiting betting on my failure.
I’m not frozen yet- and when the snow melts,
I’ll either sink or swim.
