And that’s life
Swirling
Breathing
Turning
Twisting
Into everything
You
Didn’t
Want

Sometimes you get it
Most of the time
You
Don’t

It will break you
Chew you
Grab you
Choke your every dream

And in one single instant
The candle you once had burning
Will extinguish
And then you’re in darkness

Searching for a match
Or the sun
Only to find
The journey you’re on
Isn’t ending anytime soon

And then suddenly
You realize
You’ve been carrying
A match all along.
