Conquer

They made me this, they brought me where I am
I am at the bottom of the ocean trying to find my way back
I do not know how to swim, but I have to
Coz  no one will pull me up
For now it is me, me against them
Me against enemies, against friends
An ocean ful of sharks and they are smelling my blood
My blood is me becoming, to prosper
They are coming
But I am rising
Rising to where the light is
Rising to the top, rising is my BECOMING.

Nice way to describe how important it is not to give up. Our struggle and our will to survive will eventually become our strength. Beautiful.
