Life

We came into this world crying and upside down.

Eventually learning to talk, to walk, to laugh and to frown.

Discovering a kaleidoscope of different emotions.

From anger to love, joy to sadness, or any combination.

We don’t so much as find ourselves, we actually create.

Through experiences and external influences all amalgamate.

As we walk down this road called life and grow.

We embrace the soaring highs and suffer the cataclysmic lows.

No matter what might happen, life still goes on.

Till it’s time to go forever, then all is gone.

Life is a touch of miracle, a temporary gift.

So we have to truly live life and not just to exist.

Life is hard, life is tough, life beats you around.

It is also beautiful, delicate, deeply profound.

You have to fight back yet also appreciate.

To love, to persevere, to procreate.

Everybody has to finish walking the entire way.

You can choose to do it happily or in dismay.

Life can only be understood backwards but lived forward.

You might wish to turn back time, but it is not bothered.

So live life for nobody else, only live it for you.

For it is you the grim reaper has a rendezvous.

It is still not too late to make a change.

Let loose, be free and let nothing be a restrain.
