Journey Through Life

Coming into this world
Completely helpless and dependent
Learning new things
From the first step to fitting in
Watching your family crumble into ruins
But then just when you think your world has completely burst into flames
It gets good again
Growing up tall like grass
Figuring life out
Forming thoughts and opinions
Becoming your own person
Moving through each day
Finding yourself from within
Having your heart broken
Knowing that you have no value in my life
But some how wishing you were still here
Waiting for the day when you can breath easy again
Watching tears fall from the sky
Synchronized with tears of your own
Wanting and waiting for the sun to shine bright again, on the world, on your world.
But then the sun finally shines
Finding the meaning of life
Watching the waves of the ocean crash against the shore in rage
Waiting and wanting calmness to take over
Wishing for sanity
Life is uneasy
Change is ahead
The journey of life is filled with things that it shouldn’t
But you must over come these obstacles
Growing stronger
Gaining knowledge
Coming to the realization that life isn’t fair
Watching the sunset is your ending to your unhinged life
Finding the one person that understands you and gets it
The process of life starts once again
Watching your descendants go through the same process you had struggled through
Trying to make it better, but failing
The leaves are falling apart from the tree like you own family
Not wanting have your own world fall apart but able to stop what is
You lead the same legacy that the ones before you had
However knowing you tried and did your best
You learned from your mistakes
You know that you have made a good life for you own
Going through life didn’t kill you but it made you stronger
You are now able to focus on the good
No longer are you dwelling on the past
You have moved on
Like the shinning sun on morning dew
You are seeing the light once again
You are seeing the meaning of life through new eyes
