Life,

A game of obstacle course

We all run, jump and swim

We never know

When it will finish

Whether we’ll win!

Life,

An arena

We are forced to fight the feral fiend.

In all my life of obstacles

I have been struggling

To reflect others emotions through me

To make my parents proud

To make dreams come true.

At last,

Life is not lost.

Life is a cosmic creation.
