In Life

“Life’s a bitch,” she said. 

Life

Is hard sometimes 

Is often painful 

Is a struggle at times

Life 

Same life 

Is joyous 

Is happiness 

Is victorious 

Life 

Is up 

Is down 

Goes sideways 

Meets you head on 

In life 

There is death 

There is sorrow 

There is grief 

There is struggle 

In life 

There is joy 

There is happiness 

There is victory 

There is life 

In life 

We weave our way 

Between extremes 

Between joy and sorrow 

Between pleasure and pain 

Because 

There is hope 

In Life
