Life is like tubing.
If you don't make an effort to hold on,
To stay on track,
You won't.
If the person closest to you shoves you,
You might slide off,
Or you could simply hang on and try harder.
If the people with you help you and
Tell you where to hold on and when to lean,
You might make it.
But even if you fall off, the driver of the boat of your life,
God, will always come around and pick you up,
Make sure you're okay,
And send you on your way again.
Life is like tubing.
Hang on and
Never lose faith in your driver.

Drowning and withering away
You tell yourself they don't care
And you have no reason to stay
But then you remember the days
A smile crossed your face
And you know the sweet taste of freedom is not far
So just look up at the stars
Keep that upper lip stiff
Happiness will find you
And sunlight will drag you out of the shadows again

Smell the air
The scent of autumn mulch
The rain pours and pelts
Washing away the memories of summer
Leaves of orange and red
Clinging on to branches
For dear life
Not wanting to let go

I know how that feels
To feel like you're being
Pulled so hard
Every day
Bashed and bruised
Forced to go to a place
You don't want to be

Like the leaves
You eventually fall
Are trampled on
Over and over
But duty calls
It's the circle of life
Apparently

Then spring comes
And you wake
The sun is shining
And you can face the day
You tell yourself
It's all ok
