Life's an Ocean

We try and float through life
working with the tides
Swimming through the waves
Waves of emotion
Waves of elation
Waves of torment
But what do we do when those waves all start crashing in on us
Seeming to storm and fight us
Testing our every strength
As much as we may try and float through life
Living day by day enjoying it all
When it seems it wants to drown us
What do we do
Find support
Look for help
Or just keep fighting to try and keep our head above water when we can
Not always easy
Sometimes seems easier just to let ourselves drown
Let the waves of life take us over and forfeit our life
The only light we may hold onto is every storm passes
And just one more day it may pass, just a little longer
But its hard when you do not see the surface or the end of the storm
Just remember...Everything passes in time
Let time run its course
and life always works out to a balance in the end
It all happens as it is meant to
And turns out the same
For better or worse
Sometimes we must just survive a storm to live a calm day
