Life

Life is like candy, sour grapes, and dead flowers
The elements make us happy, sometimes sadness devours
Eyes hold emotions hold tears hold pain
Hold joy holds many truthful lies that bring shame //

Life is very short
The days are very long
Accomplish your goals
Before they are gone //

Life can take turns like cars
Crash and burn to cause scars
Live and learn you'll go farther
than the stars //

Life can be a bottle, or intoxicated air
Life can be a reflection of "we don't care"
Let's drink away the pain
It'll return in do time
Let's get high and be happy
And love every bit of life //
