It shows you something you want
and then life takes it away.
It makes you smile
and then makes you frown.
it makes you feel free
and then it turns and holds you down
It makes you want to stop and stay
and never want to go away
it makes you want to get up and run
far away towards the sun
and so
long story short:
life can really suck.
