Life Is a Car Wreck
Life can be a car wreck.
It can be a crash.
It can seem like it’s all carshing into you.
It can seem like you’re just stuck
and you can’t move.
But you live and you learn,
cry and you yearn.
Smile and laugh,
win and loose,
rise and fall,
and walk and crawl.
It can scare you
and freak you out.
You feel like you will never get out of this mess that you’re in.
You feel like you’re trapped
and no one can save you.
and you don’t know what to do.
You cry
but you feel like no one’s there to see your tears
and wipe them away.
You just don’t feel like you’ll see another happy day.
You feel like sunshine will never again come your way.
But soon it will all be over.
You will see a happy day.
You live and you learn,
cry and you yearn.
smile and laugh,
win and loose,
rise and fall,
walk and crawl.
Life can be a car wreck
where it feels as if everything is broken into pieces
and you can’t seem to fit them back together.
You can’t find every piece.
Some pieces are missing.
But over time
the pieces are found and they all fit together perfectly.
Because
you live and you learn,
cry and you yearn.
smile and laugh,
win and loose,
rise and fall,
walk and crawl.
Hang in there.
You’ll be pulled out of this car wreck.
