Life

Life does not always give you what you want but what you demand from it,
Life is like a roller costar you spin until your last ride.,
Life is like the waves,

When you live this life expect people to be different,
What you see is not what you always get,
Your close friends tend to disappoint you when you least expected,
When you think you figured out life temptations hit you.

When you feel as though you are stuck in a big hole and can’t get out,
People see you smiling on the outside but inside your dying,
Promises never kept,
Those you least expected to help you come to your rescue,
you feel as though your are becoming a stranger to your family every single day,
Life is like ecstasy and you feel as though you are a junkie who wants one more fix,
Nothing comes easy and you sweat trying to make it,
As the rich drive in the poor walk to work,
You come to a realization nobody is who they say they are,
They are either out there to get you or take favors from you,

Life is like a gambler who can’t stop gambling,
Life is when you hit rock bottom,
It’s when you bend your principles and values,
It’s the religious  or cult people join.
