"Considered and Done"

"Considered and Done"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD 

I

"Save me I am drowning!"

That Voice called out to me

I reached out there in the darkness 

But I found that I  was drowning as well

II

I should have been a better swimmer

I should have known all there is to know

I should have been able to help

Instead of just letting go

III

So there I was paddling on 

With the Sharks circling around me

All I can count on is myself

I stop apologizing for the old me.
