Ups and Downs

A rhyme of balance

By Julian McHutchisonPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Feel the low from every high

Ups and downs, ends when you die

You won't find when you struggle and fight

Start believing and the passion will ignite

Feel the love, don't wonder why

Wanna receive it, better believe it

Can't receive it, maybe retrieve it

Can believe it, but cannot bind it

Never go lookin' and you won't find it

Think you know it all, you're behind it

Only ones who know it all designed it

This is a rollercoaster, may as well ride it

Wanna find a path, you decide it

Get out of your chair, Accept yourself bare

Let yourself care, let yourself dare

Nothings fair, just prepare

You decide when, you decide where

It's expected you may get rejected

Don't feel objected, you're protected

Those who practiced, are who perfected

Your life will become your thoughts elected

Where you go is based on what you've selected

Desiring becomes suffering, you have to be free

The rest may be blind but you can choose to see
