Victoria Cormier Poet I do not know?

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.
