Swimming upstream
is as difficult, and as impossible as it seems
       Swimming upstream, is hazardous, difficult, and dangerous
       It takes twice the effort, and takes all of the zest and energy out of us
Swimming upstream, wears you down, making you exhausted and weary more
swimming up stream, you cant last as long, and to save your own life, you must rest on shore


With communication, of others, its hard when the other- stutters
its impossible to communicate, if not a word is communicated or- uttered

When communication comes to a halt
just who what why when and where, lies the fault

When not even a word of -stutter
not even a single word, is communicated or -uttered

Its like eatting toast with only jelly, -and missing the butter
its just not complete, when not even a word in stutter, or any other word of communication is even- uttered

Communicating with some
its so difficult, not fun

Its like swimming up stream, and a strain
it creates stress, exhaustion, and wears down on a person, like a monsoon rain

So a person can only swim up stream for just so long
until thats it, its over and they are pushing thenselves up against the currant, and its just wrong

So as we swim again with the gentle flowing current
we feel naturally better, not so weary, so exhausted, , stressed and bent

Swim with the natural flow
 In communication with all others, dont let anybody bring you stressed, exhausted, weary, or low
