I am a salmon swimming up stream,
trying to catch my dreams.
trying to live my life.
trying to find my destiny.
trying not to just blend in.
trying to go the opposite way
that the stream is flowing,
knowing that it is going to be
hard to go straight,
not to just take the easy way
by doing what everyone is doing and going.
I am not the average fish in the steam
I am a salmon going up stream.
I am me.
whatever that is,
whatever it will be.
I am always me,
I am a fighting salmon
in life's stream.
