Life is not a bed of rose, that's what mama told me;
But she never told me it's thorny, spooky, rocky and bent road,
She said life is short;
But she never told me we all have seconds to live,
She said live, explore and learn from the lessons it teaches you,
But yet protected me from being touched by it...
I set out on my own adventure to find the real meaning of life;
It was terrific, enjoyed the rollercoaster,
But then it all end abruptly,
I asked the most knowledgeable man why it's so but he couldn't give me an answer,
I felt life was selfish and cruel...
But then my mama called me;
She said my pride, no one really understand life,
life can be beautiful and cruel,
But when you balance both, it becomes perfect,
When life bring you down and you refused getting up it will swallow you...
Live life with no regrets;
Love even when it hurts,
Stretch beyond your limit and break boundaries,
Break rules, it's meant to be broken,
Dream,it makes you stay alive,
Enjoy life while it last cos you only got one shot at it.

Being told what life is/should be like is waayyy different from what you get to experience.

Awwnn, thank you @steemrepair

i like the line that says "life can be beautiful and cruel, but when you balance both, it becomes perfect."
We should really balance our life, there's no such thing as perfect but if we focus on one thing we missed the other things we needed to make life beautiful.

Thank you @dalethbm

Am grateful Boss @madevi

I share the same sentiment😌 enjoying life no matter how hard it may be sometimes is a must because after all we all will wither but good memories never lasts😊 Twas a really well written poem !
