Life
Life is full of ups and downs
Ins and outs and in betweens
One minute you're on top of your game
The next your down lower than the ground
Through it all, life is there
Life can take you all kinds of places
Exciting, engaging, thrilling, and new
Intimidating, shocking, awful, or blue
No matter where the destination
Life will take you there
In a year, life can change
For better or for worse
Its all in what you make of it
Only you can choose
Whether you want to win or lose
Ready or not cause here it comes
Then in a flash you see it go
You can watch it pass you by
Or embrace it, and learn to fly
Either way its up to you
A life takes time to achieve
A life takes time to grow
Worlds of opportunity and chances
Doors open and close in single glances
Life's a journey, don't stay and sitRemember, its what you make it.

even when it knocks you down,
scuffs you up,
kicks you around...
this is what you must do,
to find your direction-

And happiness?
What does it means?
Will it last long?
Or,is it temporary?
No one truly understands me,
