Life's Not Written in Stone

Life's not written in stone,
It can easily change its tone.
From a sunny, warm day,
With the sun licking you like a mother cat.
To a dark, pouring night,
Rain crashing down,
Lightning strikes a tree down in sight.

The dark sticks around,
For a really long while.
Sea-size puddles on the ground,
The night doesn't quickly change its style.

You think about jumping,
About just giving up.
Flying into the sky forever,
Way, way up.

Something makes you stay,
You give it one last chance.
You don't let the night take your life away,
In your bed you just lay.

The sun starts going up,
Into the flesh-biting, black sky.
You spot an adorable, yellow lab pup,
You are glad and let out a relieved sigh.
