Then dive back in, sink or swim

Because tide and time wait for no one

I’m bound to find hope

If I choose to stay long enough;

Life can suck the light right out of me

I’ll hold on so tightly

The friction of my will to live

Kindles an ember in my still beating heart

So I can see my way

By the fire in my soul

Submissions may not be more than 100 words and may not have any unusual layout features. See the Perdeby letter policy for other guidelines.
