Checks and balances

Life is what happens to us

What we allow and what we don’t,

What we forgive and what we tolerate

What we fear and what we hate,

Life is a never ending game

Of judgement and uncertainty

Of gambling and reflectivity,

Life is a series of expanding lessons to be learned

To not become to cold the freeze

Not to become to hot so that we burn,

It’s a series of checks and balances

Where in the end you go quietly into the light

Or you go down fighting for everyone and everything into the dark night.
