Life's Challenges Poem by Tiger Lily Love
Life's Challenges
The world oh so bright in my eyes
Now seems to be so grey
I'm still not sure
What turn of events
Caused my world's color
To slowly but surely fade away
It's funny how one moment
Everything can be going your way
Then all of a sudden a storm starts brewing
And when lightning strikes nothings ever the same
Amusing isn't it?
How one moment you could be flying sky high
Then the next moment
You're on your face on the ground
Isn't it funny how everything around you
Even your heart can fall apart
And never even make a sound?
The realization never dawned on me
Until the color from my world disappeared
That one or two happy moments
In this life is all some are spared
This realization in itself
Has prepared me
For the next time lightning strikes
So next time I'll be ready
For whatever challenge is thrown at me by this life
Amusing isn't it? How one moment you could be flying sky high Then the next moment You're on your face on the ground Excellent imager throughout mingles well with an underlying bitterness, until optimism & a feeling of control resurfaces. Another line I especially enjoyed was That one or two happy moments In this life is all some are spared Great work, keep it up!
