Unpredictable Sea

Why is it I have so much emotion?

It seems it runs as deep as oceans.

It sweeps me over like the morning tide,

I feel it like waves crashing inside.

Sometimes it's high,

Sometimes it's low.

It takes me wherever it wants me to go.

It tosses me around like a storm out at sea,

Whether it’s high or its low,

It won't let me be.

I feel the emotion,

I fight it inside,

Yet it pulls me under like a raging rip tide.

I search for the shore,

The calm and the rest,

It seems deep emotion is my life vest.

I float right along in the current of life,

As emotions cut deep like the blade of a knife.

And so my emotion,

Just like the sea,

Are unpredictable and free.
