Wondering Why Life Can'T Be Simple

Wondering why life can't be simple,
I look forward and see hurdles,
I look back and see the start line,
Inches before I started.

Wondering why life can't be straight,
I look forward and see alternatives,
I look back and see wrong choices,
Yet choosing which to take,
Maybe this or maybe that.

Wondering why life can't be happy,
I look forward and see despair,
I look back and seek my mistakes,
Trying my best to move forward,
The past rigs me to pieces.

Why can't life be without problems,
When the only thing I don't see are solutions?
