Life

AshLeigh R Banner 1987 (McMinville, Oregon)

Free verse
Life isn’t a free ride.
Life isn’t easy.
Life isn’t fair.
Life isn’t to be taken for granted.
Life isn’t meant to be lived alone.

Life isn’t …

Life is expensive.
Life is hard.
Life is unjust.
Life is short.
Life is lonely.

Life is… what you make it.
Life is a gift you share with others.
Life is a journey so enjoy it.
Life is meant to be lived to the fullest.

Life is…

If you don’t like your life or how it’s turned out so far, change it. Only you can no one is going to do it for you!
