I’m back

I was gone for a while

But that’s what I need

To hit an all-time low

A sense of being trapped under

with tiny a gasp of air left

And I barely made to the top

But that's what made me stronger

No medicine, music or even motivation

Just self-perseverance

I’d often get trapped under

With the feeling of drowning

knowing the only hope of getting to the surface is me

It made me realize what’s true

I only need myself

Life happens like tides

One minute you’re feeling low

And feeling shallow

Then all of a sudden you rise

This is my life  

It has its ups and downs

I used to sit around and stress about silly things

“How did I lose this?”

“Why can’t I have that?”

But now I just ride the wave

There are days I feel mad, sad and depressed

but always content

Content that God still gives me the gift of life

Eventually I know there is a storm coming

This one will have high tides

As God is my witness

Once you find inner happiness

You’ll never stress about what’s missing

I know life is hard

But you need to be ready to ride the wave
