Glasses of water

A heart sinks and soars as the endless waves of life crash upon it
deception, disappointment's, discourage...
they come from all directions
struggling to stay head over water, trying to find a way
beyond are endless miles of treacherous sea,
nothing to bear onto, nothing to keep going, nothing to strive for,
no aim, no hope,
all faith is lost and the outcome turns bleak....
yet the truth of the matter is that oceans are merely puddles, and we drown while standing on our knees...

when will we realize that we should stand our own, and not drown ourselves in glasses of water?
