World (a poem)

As dangerous as a dark tunnel
Dangerous and dark
Dark and confusing
Confused?
Best way out is through
Through with a torch
Courage is the torch

World! Like a mountain
Rough, tough and shaking
Mount on the wind and reach the top of it
Reaching the top is the best decision

World, like the hurricane!
Uproots the weak and hollow trees
Cat away with the weak roofs
Chaos on the young, confusion on the aged
Only bends the strong trees, after its terrors comes a calm

A jungle of fear and turbulent wind
The fear you face heads on
The wind you overcome and control
Thrive on chaos
See opportunities in challenges

Remember there is a light after the tunnel,
a calm after the wind
a home after the jungle
So, trust your guts
And rise above the world
