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.
