Unpredictable Life

Life is like an ocean Growing up as a child Sweet and innocent Playful...free flowing And waves form slowly Above the surface As the gentle wind Blows gradually Calm and easy But then, times of Dramatic changes One reaches adolescence Broken heart Shattered dreams Confused and baffled By life itself Feeling lonely Just want to cry Just want to shout Want love...want everything Once in awhile Comes a storm A thunderstorm Heavy rain pounding Against each other Twisting and turning every Water particle inside out Time to be an adult Learning from past mistakes Life is together now Feeling great New hope New future New goals The storm has just passed Things are back to normal The waves sit tranquilly Smooth...a line of flat surface Perfect view Life is like an ocean Now repeating itself Unpredictable Sometimes it's up And sometimes it's down Life is full of joy Yet, it's filled with sorrow too A calm ocean can be Fun to swim in Yet, it can be dangerous And destroy everything It works both ways Don't know why Don't know how It just happens, unpredictablyWhat can you feel from this poem?
