Metaphor of Emotions

How should I describe the whirlwind
Of emotions we face? 

Like an anchor...
Cast into an abysmal sea
Where we must swim to the surface
In order to see clearly 

A maze...
tanding in the center
Pondering over the many intricate paths
But there is only one exit

The tornado...
That suddenly roars through
Dissarraying everything 
Then leaves us to pick up the pieces

Perhaps a car crash...
In a matter of a second
They can strike us hard
When we least expect it

That persistent fly...
Which continues to land
Annoying you repeatedly
And doesn't leave

A foreign language...
A subject studied rigourously
To increase our understabding
In an effort to master it

So...
Which metaphor(s) best applies to your life?
