Against the Current in Empty Echoes

I’ll be a fish.
Swimming upstream, against the current.
The acid rain will burn my flesh,
as the rocks will tear my skin.
I’ll run against an avalanche of water -
but I won’t stop.
I’ll try harder.
I’ll swim faster.
To be with you,
if only for a moment.
I’ll leave my mark and start again.
