Sometimes, innocence is just a disguise
A conniving heart yearns to lure
An unassuming simpleton
Unaware of the vagaries of behaviour
Simple crack can capsize a boat
Staying afloat under pressure is an effort
Sinking without a fight is a choice
Reflections do unmask the true identity
Displaying the sinister face of reality
Before ripples affect stability of life
It takes courage to survive a sinking feeling©
