Drowning

I've found that one of the best ways to get out of discouragement is to go encourage someone else.

Drowning

The waves roll over me;
My impulse is to scream,
To flail my arms in panic,
To hang onto my dreams;

But then I loosed my dreams
And took a hold of you,
To drag you to the surface
As you were drowning, too,

I pulled you to the sand
And found upon the shore
Through giving aid to you
It’s me who was blessed more.
