Coping With Ups And Downs

This feeling is familiar

and not strange,

that Nothing remains constant

except change.

At one moment

you seem to have vanquished

both the sea and the sand;

And the other moment

You feel thrown away

To a remote barren land.

I question myself-

Is it so bad to see yourself fall?

My conscience awakens

and answers me,

“C’mon dear, not at all.”

Enjoy even this adventure,

Like you’re bungee jumping

amidst a place mysterious and new;

And make the most of this time

To discover a much stronger you!
