The Ways Of Life Poem by Dillon Crawford

Life
It could be big
Or it could, just turn you down
But what do you do when life turns sour?
Some would say to stay bright
But how would they know what is right?
Make the best of it your told
But what can you do?
What if there is no bright side

Some people live life
And yet in ways they don’t
For they will just do whatever is told
They follow behind
Afraid to lead
Never wanting to set a example
Those are the people who don’t know
They don’t know what life truly is

And then there are those
They don’t care what is told
They want to be free
They just end up even worse
Just trying to be free
They lose sight of other
And yet, they still try on.

There may even be a few of those
Who know the proper solution
But if you can find one
Then you are extremely lucky
You should hold them dear
Live all that you can from them
And try to live great
But never have I seen
Two in a bundle
It would be like having
Whatever you need
For the two shall always be there
Never disagreeing or arguing
It is for this reason why you never see two
For to find two who never argued
Who be harder then
A needle in the haystack
But they, would always be happy


Finally there are those
Who don’t even bother
They just give up trying
And life takes them over
Life wraps them in her cold iron grip
It is them that will end up
On the street or in a doorway
Or with a bullet in their head

But if you are turning that way
Know this…
It may be hard to always make the best
But trying is all that matters
By giving up you let down everyone
Not by failing

If you were to fail
But still have tried
There shouldn’t be anyone
Who will still turn you down

No matter how hard life is.
There are always perks
If you look for it
There are always ways
Even as you’re in life iron grasp
There are still ways out,
Look for that light at then end of the tunnel
Follow it through
And never look back
That, would be the thing a winner would do
Even if you get hit back
You shall always go forward
As long as you never look back

So always try
Cherish all your friendship now
For you never know,
When that might come of need.
Forgive and forget would be a great rule
For to hate a friend for something so small
Would just be a cruel punishment to both
Just step back and look
Then ask yourself?
Is it really important enough?
To risk an entire friendship over
Just think now and act after.

Life won’t show pity
On those who don’t try
So tell me this
What do you have to lose?
For trying is such an easy thing to do.
It takes more work to avoid it
Then it would to let it come.
