Life's Complex Gift


Life can be crazy

So enjoy the ride because

The twists and turns are full of wonders.

Life is just mediocre.

It's dumb to say that

Life has more to it.

Things are not always what they perceive to be.

But It's okay to know that 

Our lives are like Kaleidoscopes.

Always shifting into patterns that can become more and more complicated.

Our lives aren’t meaningful.

I would be lying if I said

Life comes with a purpose.

So channel your gift of life now because

The future will become dark

When the world is out.

Fading dreams you can see die 

What's left of life,

Trying to hold on to

Life's complex gift.
