The one I was told requires patience and steadiness I chose to walk it But every step turns into something forceful, uncontrolled A bumpy path, I suppose I stumble, I tremble, but falling never an option It's always in motion, but never in rhythm, never in a straight line I find myself zigzagging, juggled, pulled back and forth A rollercoaster, I'd say Then comes a moment of calm, and you think you've arrived, that you've made it, if only for a moment But it's only a pause, a period at the end of the sentence, hoping you understood the meaning The L you took, was it a lesson, a loss, or life itself?
