Life

It twists and turns and makes you spin
The beauty of it never ends

You laugh, you cry, you fall to your knees
The irony will never cease

Your heart will fall and shatter at times
The love you felt will leave you blind

The more you expect, the less you receive
Your reality becomes the lies you believe

Succumb to things that numb the pain
The comfort soon becomes the bane

Through this darkness you’ll find your light
The bad times, you’ll see, were blessings in hindsight

With your eyes ahead, your chin held firm
New wisdom abounds, you live and you learn
