All's Not Lost
When life seems like a puzzle, but the pieces don’t fit,
It seems next to impossible to do anything but quit.
Your options are limited, and time runs too short;
Every decision made felt like a last resort.
You’re feeling trapped, about to suffocate;
Life’s placed way too much on your micro-sized plate.
But don’t lose heart, because all’s not lost;
You’ll learn something new from every road you’ve crossed.
You will only get stronger from the struggles you endure,
And the mistakes along the way are just a scenic detour.
So keep your chin up, and smile through the pain;
The grass always gets greener, from every drop of rain.
