RECOMMENCE

Même si des erreurs te découragent
Même si une trahison te poignarde
Même si une illusion s’éteint
Même si ton orgueil est bléssé!

RECOMMENCE

Même si l’indignation te déchire le coeur
Même si on ignore tes efforts
Même si la médisance te déroute
Même si les larmes de l’échec ruissellent dans tes yeux!

RECOMMENCE

Même si leur injustice te révolte
Même si tu es seul dans le combat
Même si la peur t’oblige à fuir
Même s’il faut abandonner!

RECOMMENCE

P! I felt so strong in that pool!!! (Birchmount Community Centre), but it was murky and translucent and I was weirded out by all of that. I swam for only 40-ish minutes.
