Life

I've watched, listened and tried my best to learn,
But to no avail it seems I always get burned,
I ask myself time and again,
Is this my life and how it's going to end?
With me alone feeling this despair,
A life wasted with a heart never shared,
Can I change the outcome with the time God has given me?
Or do I just live and let live and let things be,
I don't give up that easily, I believe the power within can amaze and astound,
And the beauty of life will always be around,
So I lay down my head to wake up to a new day,
And embrace the opportunities that will come my way,
