Life Breaks Us

Is it as simple as it seems?
Is it so easy to put on a smile and pretend your happiness is real?
Are you hiding behind the long lashes that shade your eyes?
Is your vision still visible when your eyes are clouded by tears?
Are you encouraged or discouraged by the fact that as your tears flow, life flows around you.
Life picks up the good and the bad and carries it along too the ocean of dreams.
Dreams that have come to life or dreams that have come to be buried?
Do you still taste the happiness on your lips after the pleasure is released?
Do you still feel the high long after the bottle breaks and the butt is out?
Does life give you thrills that make you reminisce for years to come?
The moments of excitement are quickly wiped away with one slip of your tongue.
Years of effort on a ship that left you letting in waters of regret and anger, anger at the master builder?
Anger at the captain?
Anger at the passenger?
Who can you blame for your ship not withstanding the stormy seas?
Life is unsteady we are thrown up and down on each flight we take.
Are you able to withstand the turbulence?
Or are you next to break?
We can sip our coffee slowly, we can even smile a little brighter but if the coffee is bitter and the smile is fake. Life will eventually make us break . Are you able to stand?
For how long will life toss you up and down?
Life breaks us
It's always been a part of the Master's plan.
The difference is how much can you withstand?
Before you are no longer standing in broken pieces.
