Life

Life can be a hard struggle. Life can pass you by. Life is like a cruel parent just watching as you cry. Life can be unpredictable, like snowing in July. It can be like an owl hooting in the night, heard by some, ignored by many, but still underappreciated. On many rare occasions, life can be happy. It can surprise you with someone you love giving you roses. Or laughing so hard you fall on the ground surrounded by friends. But mostly life can be hard. Everyone you see can be struggling, but still be smiling. Life will throw you curve balls and laugh when it sees you collapse in tears. It can leave you in darkness with nowhere to go. Life is cruel and life can be beautiful, but mostly it is dark. If you can be strong enough to get through it, there will be light at the end of the dark tunnel, a short little light where you don’t have to fight, but after the light is savored and welcome, life decides to pull the light away from you. Life is an odd thing, filled with laughter and sorrow. But without darkness, light can be blinding. And without light, the darkness can be consuming. Life is a confusing wasteland of emotions and fights for a happy mind and heart. It is full of beautiful sorrow and favored happiness. Life is an odd thing that can be taken away at any second, so savor it.
