'float'

The core of you Does not float like you think it does It is anchored in what you believe You sometimes don’t fathom all of you Because you reject the reflection What your mind is telling you You refuse to acknowledge That at times floating Prevents you from taking responsibility It’s like an emergency exit That you continually run towards Whenever life gets tough You can float all you want Until one day The decision will be made for you Only then will you realise to float Also boils down to a choice It might not be in the direction you hoped But then again you had the choice But you refused the offer Because you preferred to float

You make it look sooo easy! The storyline flows smoothly and the word choices are perfect. It flows like a sassy sea and floats you to a safe harbor of completion. Nice work. Emile.

Unfortunately we are not always floating on calm seas. I will stay tethered to the Rock and trust that He will provide me shelter when the waves threaten to crash down upon my ship.
