Life's Ups and Downs
Start here.
As the ink begins to spill on the paper, you begin your fate.
Come to a turn, left or right? Make the right decision before it's too late.
Continue on as you are faced with another obstacle.
Which way to go now?
You turn right then you realize that was the wrong turn, wow.
You can't erase where you came from though, you have to keep going and growing.
Finally, you conquer the problem and continue on.
That’s when things re occur and go wrong.
It seems as though you can’t catch a break, and that’s when your heart starts to ache.
Am I just not good enough? Am I always going to screw up?
You begin to question yourself.
Don’t worry, things will be alright.
Lift your head up high and continue on with this fight.
We go through things for experience, in the end will all make sense.
Filled with twists, turns, and mistakes that you can't scratch out,
Life is a maze, and this is what it's all about.
