Some days I feel as if I may drown.
Life can be difficult to keep your head above water.
The happiness, the sadness and the in between.
Life flows like epps and tides of the ocean.Some days I feel as if I may drown.
The waves raging within us all.
Keep my spirt and heart cleansed with the saltiness of these two things,
I then come up for air.

- Comment from author about the poem: From my own experience, as a women, I wrote this poem after a near fatal hydroplane accident I was racing in going over 100mph and flipped my boat going for #1 in the Country. I was clocked under water for 1 minute and 30 secs. It blew my chance to be National Champion. 2nd place was very good, however that’s how life can change in a split second. Always struggling with depression and anxiety & now PTSD. I can always over come the odds.
