Laid off thoughts…

Life never fails to make me laugh; 
even if you have your feet planted firmly 
even if you thought you had a plan 
Life is going to swoop in and do it's thing 
Grabbing you by the back
talons dug in tight
pushing and pulling 
forcing you to submit
pressuring you to switch paths
We like to pretend,
play like we're in control
but, life will always come at you loudly
reminding that you are not
And, maybe that's the beauty of it
How boring it would be to only 
get what you want 
forever bypassing what you need
