Aren't We All?

Aren't We All?

Alone in a vast ocean
Attacked by waves of emotion

Searching for that sea of tranquility
Trapped in this wretched reality

If we could only find the release
And escape to peace

But chaos fills the time
Even as I write my rhyme

How can this be?
If all was only up to me

I would run with empathy
If allowed to choose rightly

We all fly headlong with no clue
When flying blind like we all do

Ragged and well worn
From our wants we get torn

It's never appealing
When all our senses go reeling

We get hard jerked from highs to low
These lessons in life we may need to grow

Yet many fight the flow
Showing all they never did know

It's the choices we make
It's make or break

Run and hide if you choose
But then you suddenly loose

To bring changes about
Don't pout

We must work in harmony with the flow
We are caught in the power of this ocean, you know


When freedom rings
There is a special joy that brings
