Life is no cruise sailing on the smooth sea.

At times it can be a fiery storm

That throws and pulls anything it can grasp.

Once I fall into the dark murky waters,

It pulls me deeper into the depths of the ocean;

The burdens and struggles are weighing down on me like an anchor.

At times, there’s a tranquil atmosphere that keeps me afloat,

Otherwise, there’s a raging predator,

Waiting for its prey to be engulfed,

But every day is full of opportunities,

Which helps create new communities.

With people on your side, there seems to be a place where you can confide,

And life is no smooth boat ride.
