Learn to Control

Allow failure and gain knowledge

By Jackie MartinezPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

To adapt and be calm is to be one with the waves

Stop. Breath. Relax. Jump.

Don’t think too much, it will over flood your mind

The sea is vast with many thoughts

You mustn’t move against the waves

Or under you will go

And never seen again.

Voices swirl within the endless water

Unseen but very much heard

Could it be that the unseen wasn’t meant for you?

Distressed caused by the voices

Pounding headaches in the mind

Confusion caused by the unknown.

Can’t afford to panic,

You know what will happen

If the fear of not knowing surfaces.

Don’t kick, the waves will drag you harder

They like a fight, proof of fear.

Rather, let the waves engulf you;

Embrace the unseen, the unknown

Taste the black wine, fill your lungs to find peace.

You can only go up if you release;

So, if you learn to harness the wine and breath air

To realize that you were in control the whole time

Life won’t feel fast moving; instead

It will little by little slow down until you…….

Stop. Breath. Relax. Jump.
