The Cycle of Life

We all enter life in a raging puddle of tears.

We all fall in love with a person close to the heart.

We all set goals that we cannot seem to bear.

We all have opinions that others tear apart.

It is the cycle of life and will always be.

It is the cycle of life and will always be.

We all have memories that are looked fondly upon.

We all have memories that we hate to remember.

We all get shoved down and manage to push on.

We all have regrets that we wish to dismember.

It is the cycle of life and will always be.

It is the cycle of life and will always be.

We all make mistakes that allow us to grow.

We all get our hearts broken and go home to cry.

We all wonder how much there is to know.

We all take the final breath and eventually die.

It is the cycle of life and will always be.

It is the cycle of life and will always be.

It is the cycle of life and will always be.

i really like this, the progression of the experiences actualize the title and and the ups and downs that come with life and the questioning and the end really sum up all of life and specifically it seems like an insight to your view on the wounds of life, a very timid and resigned look

I love the whole idea and your repeating line. It just sounds really pleasant. I think you did a good job taking something that we all fear (death) and using it to bring us together and ultimately provide some comfort.
