Life is like story
unfolding before our eyes
a journey like no other
never ceasing to surprise
the thrill of victory
that sweet smell of success
the touch of a lover
simple acts of kindness
but life has a flip side
that can surely leave scars
bumps in the road
not written in the stars
they come out of nowhere
right out of the blue
invading your life
without so much as a clue
it boggles the mind
is beyond comprehension
makes no sense at all
but demands your attention
testing your character
inflicting needless pain
rewriting the future
your efforts in vain
it's hard to understand
why some things take place
causing such chaos
never leaving a trace
you've checked all the boxes
done what you should
followed the rules
all for no good
these things too often
can't be anticipated
sometimes life --
is just.., complicated!
