Life

Life in my words is unpredictable
one day its bad one day is good 
it could take you to heaven 
or keep you in hell
and it always keeps you guessing
people wonder if there are higher
powers guiding twisting fate 
people pray to gods to ensure
a good  life
what people dont understand is
all the praying in the world 
is not gonna get you a good life 
only you can make a difference
for god helps those who helps themselves
so if you are down and have no way 
just remember one thing 
the key to true happiness lies 
in your own hands
you are the key 
so live love and be happy 
for tommorrow may be too late
