The Trouble With Life

Life can be strange 
Happy moments come
Nothing in the world can
Tear you down it's happiness.

Just by one word
Can make your world
Come crashing down,
The feeling of happiness
And hope no longer excites.

The trouble with life 
It can bend and twist
Around you making 
You believe whatever 
It wants in happiness

Or sadness it plays
With your feelings and
Emotions wrapping it's
Vines around you.

It binds us holds
Us down it makes
Us falls trips us
Slides through your
Fingers with no cares.

on first line it is "can be" instead of "can be"; thought provoking though
