If I said life is a flame, 
Then I'd go down in flames.

If I said my life is a ship, 
Then my ship has sailed to doom; 
My ship has been wracked, 
Tossed and turned by the tempest of fate. 

All the things I have have been taken, 
By the relentless waters that consume, 
Leaving me adrift in a sea of despair, 
Each wave a reminder of what once was. 

If only I could drown— 
But it’s too hard to drown, 
When my wracked ship 
Has been washed up on an unknown island, 
Stranded in a place where hope feels distant, 
And shadows loom like dark clouds overhead. 

Oh! Water, 
You are the problem of my life— 
What have I done to thee? 
Why do you torment me so? 

If only I knew that the water holds my enemies, 
Those hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface, 
Waiting to pull me under with their deceitful grasp. 
I would have tried to drown willingly, 
To escape this torment that clings to my soul. 

Yet here I am, anchored by fear and regret, 
Fighting against the tide that seeks to engulf me. 
Each breath feels heavy like stones in my chest, 
As I long for solace but find only struggle. 

Oh, how I wish for the flames of passion to ignite, 
To burn away the doubts and fears that bind me. 
But instead, I remain adrift in this sea of sorrow, 
Caught between the flames of despair and the depths of despair. 

In this battle with water and flame, I seek strength— 
A flicker of hope amidst the chaos surrounding me. 
For even in pain, there lies a flicker of resilience; 
Perhaps one day I will rise again from these depths.
