Circle of Life

Life's a journey with lots of twists and turn,
leading the way through hitches,
making my soul burn,
Strong men show no fear nor pain,
while traveling the path so narrow,
But their truth is hidden beneath the smile,
That covers the feelings of sorrow,
Though you try to move on,
But the past reamains clenching,
Pulling us back to garden of nostalgia,
That is when we realise the circle of life,
The harder you try to go,
Is the faster you reach your despair,
But the moment you stop the flow,
Is when you challenge death to stare
