Lost in a day dream


What is life? 
Life is when fairytales meet horror movies,
Life is sweet chocolate being introduced to the sour apple,
Life is the evil witch becoming a bride and the princess becoming the widow,
Life is when you are told to be yourself then watch yourself be judged for it,
Life is falling in love with a perfect stranger,
Life is letting music be words and words be text messages on little bright screens,
Life is being the person everyone wants to see instead of being the one you are meant to be,
Life is the hidden tears across your face,
Life is the mask you wear so they don’t see your full face,
Life can be the dark shadow of the bright sky,
Life can be the edge to your cliff or the sugar to your tea,
Life is the reason for waking up each morning and also the reason you can’t sleep at night.
Life! why do you make it feel as if i'm stuck between a romantic horror story and a thrilling fantasy?
Life why do you make people feel so trapped when they have the choice to be free,
Life why do they love you so much then they think of putting you away,
Life is when people are meant to stay but then they always turn away,
Life is being alone in a crowd of people,
Life is a roller coaster that never ends,
Life is that debate between the devil and the angel that goes on in your head,
Life gives us the idea that wrong equals right and right equals wrong,
Life gives us hope when there is so much to be afraid with,
Life is the pen without the ink that dances upon the pages,
Life is the cry of a newborn and also the cry of the girl whose tears pull her to sleep,
Life why do you make it  so that  you are like a car without control of your direction,
Life why are you the monster who comes out when i am all alone,
Life why am I so confused this is not as easy as ABC or 123.
This is life.
The life you flaunt everyday,
The life that turns every which way,
The life that makes me feel like I’m in a box that gets even smaller each day,
The life that hold me against myself,
The life that can’t tell if this is wrong or right,
The life that just wants to always help,
The life that is sick of personal secrets becoming social speeches,
Life stop turning away come out and play,
Life where will you be in the future days,
Life I just want you to stay,
Life direct me in some sort of way,
Life how can you be so vibrant yet invisible in the same way,
Life i know you don’t just go away,
Life can continue to go on every single day, Life what are you?
