Oceans of Mundanity

Whenever you feel the waves,
You feel you should be swimming.
You feel you’ll be pulled under
If you don’t start hard swimming.

This isn’t always the case.
Sometimes, you can tread water.
Sometimes, it’s better to tread
Than to panic and strike out

For the sake of direction
With no idea where’s the shore.
There is no shore. Pace yourself
If you don’t want to drown yet.

Recall you’re among the waves,
And some of the waves yourself,
Still afloat if you sense this,
Already sunk if you don’t.
