Trials crashing over you like waves
your hope continues to fade
but it is the determined heart that saves
this is how we are made.

To fall, to cry, and to hurt
this is our unfortunate fate
there is not much that we can divert
and sometimes we cannot carry the weight.

Yes, we are made this way
to smile, to laugh, and to love
hoping for that better day
this is the world we are a part of.

We become so afraid to drown
but it is our fear that we must sheathe
we must not let the hurt make us frown
instead, we must learn to just breathe.
When I get under extreme stress or when I'm in an emotional rut, I tend to flip out and pretty much forget to breathe. But I have to constantly remind myself that everything is going to be okay soon if not eventually, that everything can be overcome if you let yourself gather the strength to defeat whatever it is. So when I'm trying to calm myself down, I just breathe slowly, letting myself get back together, because I know that I can through the hardship and the hurt. And what more can we do besides continue our lives, to continue breathing?

This is beautiful! I love the fluency of this. The last stanza was my favorite- some people are too caught up in things to just relax, even when they're under stress.
