It depends on 'You'

There’s no wind in the sail,

But motivation I have,

To row my boat across the river

Maybe not now,

Maybe not this minute

But definitely someday

There’s no one beside me,

To help me, to guide,

But I have my heart and brain in senses

This will be with me for the longest time.

The sun is setting,

The storm arrives.

I wanted wind, but not this way.

I don’t want to die, at least not this way.

Sooner and sooner

The wind increases,

My little boat,

Survives all the bruises

Its morning and my eyes wide open,

The sun’s rays hit my eyes,

Like a dagger in the stomach.

I rub my eyes and sit aback,

I’m in my boat,

Everything is fine,

I survived the storm.

I knew I would.

I told you I could row my boat across the river,

And so I did.

Now, I’ve reached my destination,

Facing storms and isolation.

I love it. The imagery is great. I like how you play on the theme be careful what you wish for in an indirect way. I love the lines, "My little boat, Survives all the bruises," showing rough times will hurt our body/mind/heart, but we will survive.

Well done.

I will add this to my library. This is such a wonderfully written poem that one will get tired praising it.
Firstly, imagery makes everything clear.
Secondly, the determination and the will to fight against all the odds are just superbly talked of and expressed.
Thirdly, all can draw inspiration from this poem. We must learn how to fight with true determination.
Fourthly, this poem also tells how things do not happen the way you want them to happen- the wind and the storm concept.
Above all, a great piece of poetry which can be read over again and again. Keep writing.
