    That's Life

    Life is merely what you make of it
    Ups, downs, a smile? sometimes you have to fake it
    For some days I have stood upon the mountain high
    While on others i've wandered in the valley low
    Then there are days that I've cried and constantly questioned why
    There are times when I am happy beyond one's belief
    And then there are occasions that I must run to find relief
    Hence I have come to this conclusion
    That life is merely an illusion
    Choice is the name of this game
    You either choose to be happy or you choose to be sad
    You choose to succeed or blame life for all the mishaps you've had
    Some days yes in fact will be blue, while others will be bright and sunny
    Sometimes you will simply sigh and some days you will think life is funny
    Guess what? that's life

    Again another well written and very reflective poem. I practice a life style built on the teachings of the Toltecs which believes all of life is an illusion and that reality is merely built upon our own perception of events we experience. Your poem h

    Guess what! Thats Life, Awesome write thanks so much for sharing.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
