Ups and Downs

Working on this day after day was the remedy to my depression, and though it kinda suffers for it, I'm glad I finally got it out.

It all falls into place
Like a hand-winning ace
Or a lover’s embrace
Or the stars formed in space

It’s amazing to take all that fate has to give
And shape it to make a great life to live
Pave your own pace with dedication and skill
Create a place based on your purpose and will

And just when you think all is right, and you’re fit to lead
Some unexpected mess derails your drive to succeed 

Because it all falls apart
It was doomed from the start
Just a ruse of the heart
Avoid the curse if you’re smart

Burdens seem to build and build until all hope is buried
Burning dreams and self esteem, the hardships have you harried
Too many hindrances to count, they just suppress your soul
Dragging down ambition until you hardly see your goals

But touch that bottom rock with a chin too hard to lift
You’ll see around your feet surrounds a very special gift

And then it all comes together
Like the words born by letters
Or the birds soaring feathers
Or the storm-forming weather

Whatever you may lose or break can still be found or fixed
Nothing life might  throw at you can take away your uniqueness
Once you’re up and start to sink, don’t stop until you rise again
Know down is not the end, refuse failure and you’re bound to win

Author's Note

I wrote this over the course of a few days instead of in one sitting like I usually do, so it's a little disjointed.
