That's REAL Life...

Its sudden it shifts, blowing my sanity to bits,
One day its “hit” the next moment, it’s a distinct “miss”;
That’s just life. 
And yet it never makes me think twice,
Because while sometimes it’s horrible, 

and if we are all honest it is,
I’m always going to gravitate to the blessing that simply living is.
I wake, I sleep, I eat, I think, I take, and I most certainly give,
I laugh, I cry, to certain things I die, because that’s what living is. 
As for the meaning of real:

I choose to reveal my humanity and accept my destiny as it unfolds
I choose to try, to fight, to fly, if that means gaining each possession my hands will hold
Whether destiny, crap, misery, anger, optimism, or strife
I choose really and maturely to embrace them all, because to me
That’s real life…
