Trials and Tribulations

Life is a roller coaster its up and then down
It has multiple curves yet throws you around
One minute you happy the next you confused
You have all the answers then don't know what to do
You live and you learn, what's next after that?
Either you continue to push or throw down your hat.
I've experienced life from all angles that come
As one day i have plenty and one day I had none
But do i complain? I ask what's the use
At times I wanna give up and just let it all loose
So much on my chest though I try to withstand
And manage these obstacles cause I'm only a man
I try to do right, do the best that I can
But get hit with these curve balls,I don't understand
I was told it would get better with each task that i face
But yet it all seems to explode in my face
Without trial and error i guess life is a bore
While seeing what lies behind the next door
Contemplating my next move calculating my steps
Without trials and tribulations then what else is left?
