Swimming Against The Tide

The average, adult, human body is made up of 60% water. 

Is that why so many of us seem to drown in ourselves? 

We become rusalki of the people we hoped we’d be 

We drown in debt 

we tread water at work, at school 

we drown in our emotions 

to reach our goals we must swim to shore 

We float on our lives 

until we really do become a rusalka 

Pulling against 60% of our nature
