The Lessons You Learn

Being on the inside,

Looking deeper within.

Some lessons come on slow,

Some pile up instead.

It reminds me of rouge waves,

Building up,

\'Til it foams and crashes.

We\'re so desperate to seal,

Up all of the hatches.

Hanging on,

For dear life inside,

Not quite literally,

Moreso, mentally.

Still, there\'s no place to hide.

Now it\'s you, and you alone,

Shaken up hard, by the waters that you\'ve known.

But the fact that you\'re still alive,

Has to mean that there\'s more to life.

So when it\'s either sink or swim?

Take a few deep breaths, and dive right in.

Sometimes progress,

Isn\'t easy, 

But giving up,

Gives you nothing.

To worry so harshly,

About current or future events,

Does not change anything about them.

So change the song,

When you\'re stuck on repeat.

Take deep breaths,

And ride with the sea.
