Life Is

a whirlwind. a maelstrom of wrong and right,
right and wrong, sometimes just wrong.

unfair. unjust.
unwelcome as the newborn cries in the night.

painful. regret that won't leave. memories that sting. laughter that once warmed that now kills.

understood. misunderstood. broken. perfect. almost.

foolishness. wisdom. silence. silence. silence.

an ever-flowing tide of nonsense and beauty--
all at once.

quiet. still. solitary tears. silent weeping. broken smiles. forced smiles.

and yet, somehow, so beautiful.

frustratingly worth living.
