Life
Life is tricky as most of us have found,
it can slap you up and it can slap you
down.
The sun always rises to meet us each day,
the sweet air is blowing and making it
our way.
The day seems long as we start the
trip, we always hope we wont fall
or slip.
The temptation of the human mind is
all around, it can bring us up and it can
bring us down.
To be "strong" they say is what we have to do,
but how can we do that, if its only just
you.
Being alone is a punishment for me, you see,
I sit and wonder, how to set myself
free.
I hate the night as it falls around me,
I feel captive, trapped and needing
to be set free.
Sleep can help and take me away,
to a place that i can be at peace,
and often play.
Dreams are all i have to help me now,
I think on them daily from sun up to sun
down.
Dont take that part of me from which i
live upon, without that within me
i would surely be gone.
