Refuse To Sink



Refuse To Sink..
This Ship I'm on may be on the The Brink,
I Won't Go Down I Refuse To Sink!
The Sky is Dark & The Sea is Rough,
Yet I know I Will Never Give Up.
I Need it Tough, I Welcome The Challenge,
There is No obstacle or Problem I can not Dominate & Manage.
The Strength within me Rages just like This Sea,
Not Even An Ocean Can Break Or Defeat Me.
Wherever I land , Head Held High I will Stand.
So I press on , Determined To Reach The Shore,
Quit is not in my Vocabulary Anymore!
I Have Survived Been Through Far Worse,
When it comes To  Fighting Demons I am Very Well Rehearsed.
So Me Sink I Think Not,
I Scream at The Incoming Storm Take Your Best Shot!
At My Demons I Smile & I Wink,
They Scream At me & I don't Even Blink,
Others choose to jump into The Drink,
NOT ME, I REFUSE TO SINK..
