Life Isn't Easy

 So you thought it was easy, but now you know.

It is all hailstones here, before the snow.

For one must go, in the search for something vain,

But you learn that we can have nothing without pain.

Too afraid to let go, you hold on to fading memories,

Too sober to know, life melting in a quest for basic groceries. 

Day after day, explore the values you must learn to grasp.

Cheating with a smile, hoping for a lie, till the last breath, you gasp.

So you thought it was easy, but now you know it is not,

You have to live and enjoy and never be greedy of the lot!
