Tough Life

Life is tough
Everybody got problems
But mine seem bigger
Sometimes it feels like I can’t catch a break
Days, months, years pass without an upside
Then when one finally comes it’s not always satisfying 
The good thing isn’t always worth the wait
But that’s just the way it is
They say things happen for a reason
But it’s hard to look in the future far enough to get past things
It’s hard to see the big picture
But I’m not complaining 
Everybody got problems

Your write is so real, we all have problems and at times you wonder why, why does it have to be that way, and I know it's cliche that there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, there is a silver lining on clouds. I just think if it wasn't for bad times we would apreciate the good. Either way, I appreciate your write, thanks for sharing. :)
