Life’s Curveball

CIMG1980Deep in my trials and tribulations I ponder on the complexities of my situation. 

How did my path bring me to this place where I am alone and crippled in desolation. 

My wisdom claws Into my soul and tells me to catch life’s curveball. 

Nurture it’s sorrow and embrace its lesson as affirmation that the pain will, I hope, eventually stall.

What is this life if not the catalyst of continuous change, always with the promise of perpetual pain. 

My child you are life’s curveball.  A chance encounter from womb to world, holding me ransom with no escape. 

Entwined together beyond reality through an existence wholeheartedly innate.
