Too Far ?

Paddling for miles and miles he may never reach the land
A swimmer strong but struggling, water slipping through his hands
He asks with his last gasping breath, as he swims with failing might
Why I chose the ocean, when I could've walked the sand

Have I gone too far to start again
If this is the start, where does it end

A mission made by morning he would journey under the sun
Approach the road he never chose, to what he might have done
Target destination stood imposing in his sight
All he's ever wanted, he's never recognised

Have I gone too far to start again
If this is the start, then let's begin

Broken from the start, The intentions of an arrow in a dart
Sharp and glowing with momentum slowing
Grounded damaged and slow, with all this freedom to grow
This progress staggered but no moss will gather on this stone
After folding, your confidence was holding out, standing proud
From the darkness came a spark
Behind his eyes tore through the dark and he was found
Blindly walks from the dark, led by nothing but his heart
And those left talking, their lives afraid to start

Have I gone too far to start again
If this is the start, where does it end
