Analysis of Life Is But An Ocean
Life is but an ocean
Unpredictable yet scary
So much to be wary
You can choose to drown
Or you can choose to swim
Every wave is like a challenge
The deeper you go the heavier it gets
Like a million weights that just dropped on one’s chest
Once you defeat the challenges that life has brought
There’s always another yet to be fought
Bigger than ever before
Like a tsunami rushing onto the shore
Hard to swim but easy to sink
It’s easy to make you think
If you really want to try or not
But you’ve got to use what you’ve got
To make it past a new big wave
All is takes is for one to be brave
