how do you explain how some find the gold, everything they touch becomes bright maybe brighter than the sun, skipping through time, full of smiles everyone's happy with this kind of life ... and then, there are those downtrodden, can't get a handle, it seems on what works, one step forward, ten steps slide slipping backward, losing hope they're a wreck. emotionally, financially and physically speaking as one affects the other and they're down, broken discouraged. heading towards bitter in this fight of their lives where is the balance we all hear of? how does it end when we keep beating our heads against that barrier that won't give against all odds, against this tide of the ebb and flow we call life, tell me! I don't understand can't comprehend this madness this journey, this life ...
