A life that’s smooth sailing or
A life that navigates rough seas
How can one even have a smooth sailing life?
Only when the person shuts off completely
From the surroundings and the inner voices
Living a life no different from that of an automaton’s
But, what if a day comes when that smooth sail is halted?
Would the person be willing to change course, or
Would the person just jump off the ship?
Regardless of the option the person chooses
The life had no real meaning until that instant and
Will never have going forward.
