Life

There was 3 trees
on a road
one was too big
one was too small
one was too high
one was too low
but one of them
gave no shade at all.

There was a lake
nearby
but this sad lake
was dried
couldn't reflect
the sky
there just mud
you could find...

There was a dog
on the street
easy to pet
easy to feed
easy to lie to
easy to trick
easy to hurt
easy to kill.

Life is the rose  
life is the thorn 
life is the breeze 
life is the storm 
life can be warm 
life can be cold 
life makes you laugh 
life makes you mourn. 

Life can be bitter
life can be sweet
life can be a nightmare
life can be a dream
life can be a place
where you and me
can still find a reason
to live.
