Poem: The Storm

[joshueg]

THE STORM

I AM SAILING IN THE SEA,
LEADING MY BOAT ALONE,
AND I' M FIGHTING DESTINY
TRYING TO SAIL BACK HOME

BUT THE WINDS ARE GROWING STRONG
AND I CANNOT KEEP MY WAY
NOW I' M LOST, DON' T WANT TO STAY,
WAVES, SEA CURRENTS COME ALONG
AND I AM LOSING MY FAITH.

DO I WANT TO LIVE OR DIE?
DO I GIVE UP OR DO I STAY?
I WON' T SURRENDER OR CRY
FOR IF I KEEP ON THE FIGHT
CERTAINLY I'LL FIND MY WAY.

NOW THE STORM CAME TO AN END
AND I CAN SAY I SURVIVED
NOW I HAVE FOUND A NEW FRIEND
I NEW ME BELIEVES IN LIFE.

I really, really like this poem a lot.

Especially since I emailed a friend today comparing a discussion we had about faith, being like a storm... So certain parts of your poem are very appropriate for me today.

But it's a very good poem besides.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you, Starry!!, you are a very nice person.
I usually write poems in Spanish , that' s why i am never sure if i write poems in correct English or not.
Thanks!! :wink:

You're welcome. And thank you lol.

I think you write very well in English, much better than I could do in any other language lol.
