That's How Life Goes

Anger
Love
Sadness
Compassion
So many emotions
Swirling in and
Out of our lives,
Minds, and hearts.

Different situations
Bring out different
Sides of a multi-surfaced
Creature.
Such delicate forms of
The human mind
Becoming apparent
Through the
Experiences we have.

All our choices and actions
Are cumulative to an end.
We can give, take, reject advice.
Or even ignore it as a whole.
But in the end our thoughts
Achievements and even our
Failures bring about that
End.
That person we're meant to be.

Things will be thrown at us.
Things we never expected.
But that's how life goes.

People are so quick to
Judge.
Quick to assuming.
Quick to make a mold
For everyone to fit in.
But there's always
Something more.
Something deeper.
Things you'll never
See.
Unless you're willing
To get close.
Unless you're willing
To listen.

You can tell, with some
People,
If they have had a hard life.
Some people trials show on
Their face.
In their attitude.
In the way they treat life.
But others may seem perfect.
Like they've never been hurt.
These people certainly do know
Pain.
They are strong enough to not
Let it weigh them down.

It is hard to be strong.
Hard to put up with all the
Pain.
All the petty promises.
All the experiences that
Force you to grow.
Bitterness and anger
From the small tiffs and
From the real problems.
From family life.
From teenage drama.
All of it adds to the load.
But that's how life goes.

The strongest are those
That can still be happy.
And that's how life is lived.
