Life as I see it


The thrills of life kills many things it helps old wounds continually bleed, Those scars others call badges of honor never seem to fade. But all life's complications are all self made. Time can turn flames to embers or washes away the pain the joy, pain, agony, happiness lives in your soul and pumps through every vein. Each day creates a new chapter in your life and each new adventure a new story. Experience is there to wizen you and make sure you regret the start of the struggle but ends in glory The darkness seems to erode me to shadows the light begins to dim And through all my struggles I never get to win I may win the battles but never the war my wounds leave me scared and sore Daily drama colors my life from reds to purples and orange and white but both future and past all seem to fade to black Although the present isn't always pleasant it helps create the joy I lack But a light sheared the dark my heart you did mark a seed of happiness you did grow now I shine and glow My pain you did help hold now my heart is no longer cold You put a smile on my face your warm happiness my soul did embrace you shunned away the darkness and chased away the night With all the shadows gone I can finally see the light and for my happiness you'll fight with all your might to make sure life's joys stays in my sight I deeply thank you for giving me reasons to live and all my love to you is all my gratitude can give
