To Sink or Swim

I'm stuck on this treadmill
getting tired from running
with the scenery never changing

I keep telling myself
it all gets better from here
but the see-saw effect of my
fluctuating emotions
makes it impossible to sort out
the progress from the regress

I refuse to give up
but can't bear to glance up
into the face of my destiny
glaring down on me with
a face so blank and austere

I can't get a read on the
one throwing me a life preserver
and sometimes think I'd
honestly prefer to keep on drowning
