Truth Be Told

What goes up,
Must come down.
What goes up,
Must come down.
What goes up,
Must come down; down down down

My life has always been like this,
Rollercoaster ride, back out you die.
Ups and downs twists and turns,
Even at rock bottom I'll always lie.

I say I'm fine with tears in my eyes,
Pray the pain will go away.
Patience is a virtue they say,
Hopefully I'll get there one day.

Love comes and love goes,
Life puts it to the test.
Some are fine, others don't last,
But maybe; it's for the best.

Struggling with the words to explain,
How does one expect to survive?
Even with all the luck in the world,
I find it nearly impossible to thrive.

How can you expect perfection,
I'm not even close, no not me.
But with tears in my eyes I slowly start to smile,
I realize who I can truly be.

Having your heart torn to pieces,
No more faith in humanity.
And on the darkest of nights, still I fight,
To show the world I'm not the old me.

No matter how small,
Still a fighter I will remain.
Pushing my limits day after day,
One day I hope,
That true peace I'll gain.

Now with part of my story told,
A sigh escapes my lips.
I hope you'll see, beneath it all,
My goal in this,
Is hopefully, giving anyone some tips.

Tips and pointers for all,
A message from me to you.
Chin up, never look back,
The best thing now is always be true.

You're never alone in this game of life,
So always remember, shine like the moon.
And at the worst moments in life smile and know,
When bad times are through, new beginnings are soon set to bloom.
