The phenomenon of life
Wuam Doowuese Hope 2002 (Gboko)
Life is like a bed of roses yet filled with thorns
It's so unpredictable yet so exhilarating
So scary yet so beautiful
So full of sadness yet supplies an abundance of happiness
One can never tell what life holds yet we just live it anyway
New things happen and are discovered everyday
Sometimes we're inspired to live our lives to the fullest yet discouraged to further this journey of uncertainty because of certain unpleasant circumstances
Life hits us hard like needles penetrating deep into our skin and sometimes like a giant monster about to eat us up alive
Life is sweet like honey and interesting like a movie yet so painful and boring
They say experience is the best teacher but some people never learn from those experiences
Life is so difficult and extremely excruciating especially for the less privileged who struggle daily to get 3 square meals a day
It becomes difficult to breathe and hard to move on
But one thing is for sure we all have to accept whatever life throws at us at some point in our lives
It's difficult but not impossible
We've all got just one life to live and we've got to live it to the fullest
No one's worth dying or murdering for
Life can become much more interesting only when we learn to accept our reality
Only then can we move forward with our lives
Because there's always a ray of hope in every sticky situation
