Against All Odds

I forded shallow waters I tried to set my feet The bottom was too sandy Nothing there concrete The tide then turned against me No footing held me down I drifted out of memory Alone and left to drown I'd worked to lay foundations In hopes of a someday But then before I knew it Got pushed out of the way I didn't think would happen What actually did Should I have kept my mouth shut? Should I have kept it hid? My heart though right now broken I feel I want to die Despite the odds against it The chance was worth the try
