Across the sea of emotions I stand,
and gaze into the crystal clear water.
So calm and blue like the sky without clouds,
The sea of emotions is at peace.
I take a step into the wonderful water,
disturbing the calmness of the emotions.
As the ripples become stronger,
The anger boils up inside me.
I struggle to control the boiling blood in my veins,
and as I manage to calm down,
the ripples disappear.
I wonder how I shall be able to cross this sea,
As every step I take,
Causes my blood to boil and rage.
I can do this. I think to myself,
As long as I float along silently on my back.
I can make it through,
If I learn to control
The emotions that I make.
As I think only good thoughts
for both me and the sea,
I dive into the water
Causing ripples all around me.
But then, I clap my hand with glee,
Because I have learned to control the emotions,
Learned to defeat the sea,
The sea that has always tried to control me.
