When Life Gives You Lemons Poem by Cloe C

when life gives you lemons
you squeeze them in your eyes instead of make lemonade.
then you go through your kitchen frantically splashing water in your eyes
then the water is warm water and it makes your eyes burn
so you drop on the floor crying to get the juice out

when your legs can't carry you anymore
crawl
you still have arms. you need to crawl around all day
when your arms give out, get back up
if you drop back to the ground and can't move, use your tongue, be a cartoon character and crawl around using your tongue
turn into spider man and get adhesive hands and shoot webs to bring you back to your feet
find water and swim. in a pool there's less gravity and you'll be able to move your body
go into outer space and turn into an astronaut with 0 gravity
if that all sounds like too much work, get back on your feet

traffic was so bad this morning that you couldn't show up to work on time with a smile on your face.
turn the traffic into a road block for your anger
and turn your tears into water so your not parched and can speak
remember that too many people die of dehydration
so it dosnet matter if the glass is half full or empty drink it
when there's a last drop
savour it
savour it like it's your parent who you haven't seen for years
savour it like your dead relative who you dearly miss
because you never realize what you have until it's gone

muscle is created by repeating to carry something that lifts you down
so when you can't stand, stand up and be strong
weakness dosent describe you.
every second of the day you need to fight

turn your weak arms into strong fists
become a warrior and conquer the world
the world can evolve around you if you care enough
take bloody knuckles home and frame it on the wall
take pride in being alive and fighting your head every day
display your strength
turn the frames into trophies
you are a graduating member of a class of you made it.
