Life

When life falls apart 
and things fall out of place,
Just remember who you are,
remember your face.

When life gets hard
and you feel you can't take it.
Just let it all out,
don't try and shake it.

When life is flyin' by too fast
and you can't handle it alone.
Turn to your friends for help,
you don't have to do it on your own.

Life is pure chance,
sort of like balancing a knife.
It can hurt, but goes pretty well.
In fact, life is just that...Life.
