Rough Life


No one ever said things would easy as you grew up There's no more play time , but hard work and responsibility They say high school is the best fours years of your life The only best part of these four years is walking across that stage As a graduate holding a diploma and ready to face the world But then you learn how hard things can be and how difficult life Can be, having this on going fear replaying like a broken record In your head, a thought that wont go away and just sticks to you It's like a demon clinging to your very soul and mind inputting these Thoughts of negativity, fear, and regret, no one said life was easy It's what you make of it, some will survive others won't that's life We aren't meant to stay here forever, but that fear left by this demon Still bothers us, the fear of living on our own, paying taxes, bills all this And more, as we get older we learn to enjoy the little things of life and To just keep going no matter how hard life can get, I mean we've come this far Why stop

I personally thought this picture I drew would go along with the poem. But overall life does get hard and we run into situation that we sometimes cant handle or ever fore see for ourselves but have to learn to keep pushing ourselves to keep going on, and to tell ourselves that things will get better.
