Life is a whirlwind of struggle
a whirlwind of pain
We have to hold on tight so that we dont blow away
It will pound you down blowing hard against you.
you have to use all your might not to get knock down

Like is a dark song
that plays a horrible tune
creeping up and down the walls
no matter where you turn you can still hear its sarodonic tune

Life is a beautiful picture crafted by a skilled artist
The paints bounce of the canvas capturing your attention and luring you into its bright and clolorful paints

Life is a open door that can lead to endless possiblities
Its door is always open
welcoming and inviting
I stand at the thershold awaiting the storm that I know as life
