A drop in the ocean

I kept swimming.
Against the strongest currents,
Through the wildest storms,
I kept swimming through the pain.

The shore is just there.
I'm sure...
Palm trees and soft sand,
Sweet fruits and the glorious sun.

I pushed and pushed.
Stroke by stroke.
Torture by torture.
But it never came.

So I stopped swimming.
I was but a drop in this infinite ocean.
There was never a shore.
Hoping a whale would swallow me.
