Journey of Life

October 1, 2009
By Anonymous

Everything happens for a reason.
Bad things happen to you.
Life is not a comfort zone.

People have different views.
Pressure on your shoulders.
Easier to snap.
Harder to stand strong.

New beginnings, second chances.
Believe in yourself.
Hope is the foundation of motivation.

Everything happens for a reason.
Might fall or wipe out.
Chances are greater
I will gracefully glide
Through the powder of life
To stand and survive.
