Life's Ocean

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the ocean struggling to stay afloat Trying to stay optimistic patiently waiting for a boat. There are times when the water is calm and I think everything will be okay Then a wave crashes down upon me and my optimism is washed away. I feel so tired and weak treading these waters for so long It's hard to keep on going hard to be brave and strong. The waves come one after another it's so hard to hide my fears All I can do is keep on swimming and try to hold back my tears. For out here in the ocean YOU REALLY ARE ALL ALONE Everyone is busy rowing in their boats they don't want to hear you moan and groan.

I've always been a fan of oceanic imagery. The expanse is very enticing and yet, foreboding. Nicely done.

A very nice effort, well worded, and appropriate and applicable comparisons...could use punctuation which seems to be missing in some lines...I liked this.
