Life is...

Poet's Dream

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.
