Life is crying to sleep
Life is failed exam papers and parents waiting at home
Life is petty texts
Life is muffled voices behind closed doors
Life is pimples between eyebrows
Life is stubbed toes and wrong coffee order
Life is spoiled fruit and expired milk
Life is scrolling until you can't feel no more
Life is a heart monitors flatline beep
Life is a newborn baby
Life is deep conversations at 3am
Life is ice cream for breakfast and cereal for dinner
Life is watching the sunset and the stars come out
Life is giggling over middle school crushes
Life is fresh hot chocolate
Life is music when the lyrics hit just right
Life is making silly jokes and laughing with friends
Life is ice cold ocean water, the salt stinging you're eyes
Life is morning fog
Life is sleeping in till noon
Life is freshly cut grass and blooming flowers
Life is hard
Life is scary
But Life is wonderful even if it's weary

Life is nightmares and dreams and everything in between. Well said. I love all the little things you listed and how halfway through the direction just changes showing that we have to squeeze the lemons to have the lemonade.
Very well put! We must remember that the rainbow comes after the storm. You perfectly captured so many meaningful moments. Nice job.
A wonderful write showing the spectrum of life's dark and bright side from pressure, mistakes, deficits to its beauty, joys and exhilaration. A lovely scale presenting good and bad but ending in the positive and bright. Very nicely done
