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.
