Sea of Life

a perfect fit it might seem
surrounded by calm waters
sailing comfortably on the sea of life,
knowing where you are heading to

when you are smooth sailing,
enjoying life in the comfort zone
out of nowhere come a storm
that turns the ship in another direction

you try to go back to the earlier route
the one that you felt comfortable on
but the harder you try
the sooner you learn
that the route cannot be changed
nor there is a comfort zone

as life is full of surprises and sacrifices
which sometimes take you away,
from the place that you believe
is a safe harbor

but after a while you realize
that you adapt to the new route,
in which you feel comfortable

so when there's a change,
don't give up

as life is not a path of roses
but one filled with roses and thorns
the roses makes you happy
but the thorns make you stronger
stronger to fight your way through rough seas
