People like the sun
For its so bright and lovely
But the minute it gets uncomfortable
We manage to seek the nearest shelter
‘I love the rain’ most say
But keep an umbrella handy just in case it rains
Eager to see a rainbow
But too good to go through the rain
Everyone loves the mountains
But the climb they are sure to avoid
The view they may fancy
But the struggle sure wouldn’t be worth the fight
It’s funny we await the finest
With an excuse in the name of a strive
If one wants the warmth of the sun
they first ought to smoulder in its might
If you love the rainbow then why fear the storm?
If you want the sight then why fear the climb?
For the best to gain
It’s the hardest one shall fight
Why do we wish to run,
When we can dance through life?
We run so fast
Not even leaving a minute to see;
See the bliss and joy
And all that life’s got to provide.
We run and run for the entirety of our lives
But when is it we wish to relish
The small and beautiful times?
Or even savour what we call is life?
I don’t wish to live this way
For how I don’t see it as any different than sustaining
I want to live and I want to laugh
No matter how bad it’s now
Because however small it may it be
Life’s still mine to keep.
