Perseverance

Not being where you want to be

Struggling forward

In discomfort

Unhappiness

In discontent

Not being where you want to be

Right Now

In this moment

Can influence the next moment

Don’t let the undertow

Bring you down

A falling sensation

From a power within but beyond

It is not you

You can imagine better

But it is not here right now

So you must persevere

Through the disappointment and the pain

Staying alive

Takes action

Working towards a greater good

Get up and try again

Hang on

Hold on

Dropping out is losing all

Hold firm to the dream

We are nothing without the dream
