Take Two

Don’t even know you,

Seen just a glimpse.

So how can one find a way to settle in.

Life isn’t easy,

A battle everyday,

A war that one will continue to fight until their last breath.

Desperate it may seem,

But it comes far from normality.

Emotions run like sprinters do,

Fast down the lane then stop as soon as they think the race is through.

But emotions take you on more than just a race,

Much like a marathon but mix in a roller coaster and a high speed chase.

Strange as it may seem,

Emotions run free,

Just have to be lucky like in the lottery.

To settle them down and know the way,

For if you stay young you’ll be stuck in that race.

Immature and stupid on might see,

But only to realize that its themselves that they see.

Scared for the future,

Afraid of their past,

A picky soul with no compass in hand.

Stuck in a battle that goes on forever,

With no one to help them fight off the pretenders.

But the one who contends is the one that will stay to help,

Yet is the one that gets left to fend for themselves.

Emotions in life are tough to swallow,

But something we all must learn to mend and follow.
