Are you standing alone on the rock?
Dwarfed pitiably by the stretching horizon?
Intimidated by the roaring waves of the ocean?
Raging silently at your ridiculous frailty?
You have forgotten
Reason
Your ability to reason is what makes you human
To weigh, to compare, to accept, to reject
It tells you how
And that is how
You will not jump into the ocean
If pulled by the waves, you won't drown:
You will simply remember to swim
Stop cursing your weaknesses
Reason is your biggest strength
Reason is all you need
Watch the horizon shrink now
As your posture changes.
