life is that knot in your shoelaces,
so tangled and frustrating,
you want to give up on it
but you know you've got to get your shoe off somehow.
it's a jigsaw puzzle that's missing a few pieces:
you can tell it isn't quite fitting
but you keep trying to put it together anyway.
it's a discordant song that sounds harsh to your ears,
but you can't quite figure out what's wrong about it.
it's the winding road you're walking which has no clear end.
you're not sure why you walk sometimes,
and you want to sit down in the middle of the road and cry
when your feet get tired.
but something compels you to keep going,
and you can't stop for long.

Life is complicated, sometimes it's not what you want it to be.
