WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS

THEY SAY WHEN LIFE GIVE YOU LEMONS
YOU HAVE TO MAKE LEMONADE
BUT ITS SO HARD TO KNOW
WHICH INGREDIENTS TO PUT IN
WHEN YOUR MIND IS CLOUDED
WITH SO MANY THINGS
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO TAKE THOSE LEMONS
AND MAKE SOME LEMONADE
WHEN ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT
IS GETTING THROUGH THE PAIN
AND IF YOU ADD A LITTLE SUGAR
IT WILL SWEETEN LIFE AGAIN
BUT IF YOU ADD TO MANY LEMONS
THEN LIFE BECOMES A SOUR GAME
AND THEN WE HAVE TO START ALL OVER
TRYING TO MAKE THAT LEMONADE
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO TAKE THOSE LEMONS
AND MAKE SOME LEMONADE
WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO DISGUISE YOUR TEARS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAIN
WHEN LIFE IS OVERWHELMING
AND IT SEEMS A TIRING GAME
AND ITS HARD TO FIGURE OUT
WHICH INGREDIENTS TO PUT IN
THE SECRET TO THE RECIPE
IS NOT A SIMPLE ONE
YOU HAVE TO LEARN YOUR LIMITS
TO LEARN TO BALANCE THE LEMONS
AND THEN THE INGREDIENTS WILL COME TO YOU
YOU'LL SEE
WHEN YOU ADD WATER AND SUGAR
TO THOSE LEMONS
THEN YOU ARE TRULY FREE

The is a great poem I like the Rhyme scheme and imagery in the poem. you really have a style of luring in the reader. Great write

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
