Day after day, I live my life
wondering when I will wake up and realize
that this is life
this is for real
this is not a childs game
it is the game of life
you can go down a one way street
and never come back
You can dig a hole for your life
and never get out
One mistake in the game of life and you may regret that choice for the rest of your life
That choice will always be with you
everytime you do something
You cannot choose death
it just happens
You can make it happen,
but always choose life
life may show you its bad side
but never let it pull you under
Remember this
Never let life take you down
no matter how bad life looks
It isnt as bad as your mind makes you think
when you take life seriously
you see it isnt as hard as you make it seem
do not let life defeat you
you defeat it.

Very optimistic poem, Lisa.

"you can go down a one way street
and never come back
You can dig a hole for your life
and never get out"

Those were by far my favorite lines.  You speak so much truth in this poem, and you carry lots of positive thoughts to the reader.  Very nice work!  I really enjoyed this...

I look forward to reading more
