Life is like a piece of gum
You unwrap a new piece,
Like a fresh start
You start chewing that piece,
Learning how to live
You can blow it,
Let it expand and expand
Until sometimes
It explodes in your face
It might be hard
To clean it off
Sticking everywhere
Making problems
It might take a while
But as you learn
You’ll get better
Through trials
Until the whole piece
Is back in your mouth
Sometimes the gum will get bland
You’ll get bored and sick
You’ll want something new
Something exciting
Something different
So you’ll spit out your gum
Wrap it in a wrapper
And toss it in the garbage
Where it will stay
So you don’t have to remember
Unless you want to
Then you’ll buy a new
And exciting pack of gum
An exciting flavor!
Maybe cinnamon, maybe fruit
Maybe even a mystery pack
Then you’ll start over
A new chapter
Filled with new tastes
And experiences
Like a fresh piece of gum
