This life thing

Be kind to yourself because sometimes life won't be kind to you. Be kind to others, you don't know what someone is going through.

Life was such a tease
She tasted like chocolate coated dreams
With extra fillings of devotion
Even sparkled with infinite high hopes

Boy was I a fool

The pedastle himself was peaking... Briefly
Then brutally mutilated right after the shining moment
Right after my last twinkle in my eyes as my smile beamed
As my heart fluttered peacefully on the clouds

But really

Gravity of reality tugged, pulled and ripped that comfort away
Hands of responsibility hauled me in all directions
Disorientated was an understatement
Overwhelmed waves outruled my erratic mind

Honestly

This ground is rough
The clouds are not in sky limits
They are not seen anymore, they're galaxies away from me
The comfort... The chocolate coated goodies too
Gone

Are they really?

Maybe there's scrumptious sugary treats down here too
Maybe the ground has got treasures somewhere

Life... Truly was seductive like that
You can smell it, the sweet aromas, yet...
The distance, the direction of scented heaven is unknown
How detrimental it is... To suffer like this

How back bending it is... To rise and fall harder than the last time
How suffocating it is, to scream silently
In a room of proud, eager and hopeful eyes
Eyes that twinkle and glow because of you

Goodness me, then I realized
Life was a dancer, a devastatingly hypnotic performer
That effortlessly swayed with our live's strings
In her unpredictably curious hands
