" If Life was as Simple as ABC................."

If Life was as Simple as ABC...................

It makes you twist and makes you turn

When more from life is all I yearn.

It makes you sad yet makes you smile

Only for tears to roll all the while...

It gives me joys that I couldn't conceive

To a point that it's make believe

Then it steals my smiles and joys away

With a hidden trick up its sleeve...

It makes me want these feelings,

Feelings I can't shake...

But like a dark patch in moonlit water

It makes crystal what all's at stake.

Ups and downs and roundabouts

Rollercoaster, a turbulent flight...

It makes my smiles seem far away

Yet what makes me smile is in my sight.
I never know its next move

It's like a child that’s at play

Sometimes life isn’t black and white

Sometimes it’s shades of grey…

These trials and temptations test my will

I want to be a bird flying free...

For if life was as simple as ABC,

What I want would be with me.
