The Ocean

The Ocean is deep
Where many live their lives
and try to stay away from the tides
just reach for hope
think to stay afloat
Take everything stroke by stroke
breath by breath, step by step
and cherish every breath
life is hard
the ocean is hard when you swim against the tides
but for pride
some will put this all aside
When the waves come
Some are willing to drown
it's not about who's stronger
but who can hold their breath longer
it's possible to swim the ocean
I live the ocean every day
