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
