RAPID CYCLING POEMS

THIS LIFE

THIS LIFE

When I agreed to this life I thought that I was strong

I thought that I could manage, but hell, I was wrong

When viewed it looked easy, and a life I could manage

But how could I guess at free will and its damage?

And so I came willingly to earth incarnated

Believing temptation to be overrated

But life here on earth is so dark and wearing

And for a soul to survive it has to be daring

And kindness must blossom with wisdom and learning

Or else it is freedom and death you’ll be yearning

The contract I made was to stay till the end

No matter what hardship I faced – I would mend

But goodness this life has taken its toll

But seeing it through has always been my goal

I’m living and learning a little more each day

Grabbing at opportunities that present along the way

For winning is always utmost in my mind

And trusting the instinct that tells me to be kind

And so to my enemies and friends I’ll show love

As guided by the spirits of those from above

When agreeing to this life they knew that I was strong

They knew that I would manage, and I will not prove them wrong.
