Hell broke loose
Out of nowhere a storm rampaged
Waves yelled at us with rage
A heavy downpour rained fear across the minds
Some within us started uttering prayers, sure repenting
The storm gave no room for survival nor escape
But against all odds , as a paper boat we stayed afloat
Battling the waves
Fighting the winds
Resilience paid off, we sailed through the storm
And finally, oh finally we got to our destination
