they say its impossible,

but I've found a part of the river

that seems crossable.

just have to lighten your load,

take a chance on the slicker stones,

although the river is wide,

its twice the life on the other side.

and god, must we try..

your freedom is written in the profit margin

marginally

the struggle

thankfully this well of will,

whos depth has yet to be seen,

is so readily available to yield.

so that I may once again summon the strength

to expand my lungs, to strive

for one more breath of life; and that I,

may relish in the relief of its exhale.
