Fragile

Race.

Run, run, run.

Let's run to the finish line,

cross through the other side.

Fast.

Swim, swim, swim.

Let's swim the bottle down,

forget what our reason was to begin.

I swear to you that we can make it,

just find it in your heart, but be careful not to break it. 

Because we're much more fragile than we want to think,

which is why we run and swim.

Thoughts? It's not my best.

Good reflection of youth and hope, being young and inspired. It would be interesting to expand on it in the opposite direction of your closing.
Kudos

Thank you! I will definitely look into doing so.

The line: Because we're much more fragile than we want to think, which is why we run and swim.
That sums it up. Nicely done.
