LIFE

life will take you
turn around
and try
to break you.
lay obstacles
in your way
-a false friend
some would say.
pretense and confusion
life will hand you
many an illusion.
sunshine, sunset
forgiveness with
a little regret.
life will take you
turn around and
break you
bends and twists
memories laid bare
to forget.
life will take you
life will make you
laugh
life will make you
cry
but in the end
only life
knows why.
