Not Steady

I saw the island and thought, "I could swim to that." 

Now, I'm swimming and getting a little tired, halfway there, and I'm not sure if I shouldn't have stayed on the mainland where it was safe and dry and home. And it's one stroke and another stroke, and I'm breathing, but it isn't steady.

One stroke and then another, I'm breathing, but it isn't steady.

it's okay,
