Figuring life out isn't always easy

Sometimes it makes me nauseous and queazy

As it can be painfully disheartening

While at the same time illuminating

Life is full of paradoxes and principles

Not all are quickly digestible

Some turn your stomach and seem detestable

Dealing with people who are reprehensible

Problematic and incomprehensible

Life undoubtedly is a challenge

Just trying to keep your mental stability

Internally possess your soul in tranquility

Sustain yourself financially

While discovering and fulfilling your destiny

Balancing your life relationally and professionally

Keeping yourself and everybody else happy

That seems like a certain impossibility

Yet living with discontents in disharmony

Who complain and throw a pity party

Is a burden unbearable

It makes life sometimes deplorable

Perhaps I should board a plan and go global

Say good-bye to this nonsense

That seems confusing and makes no sense

But then there is the ongoing battle

Between the need for intimacy and privacy

Such contradictions are too difficult for me

Perhaps there is a component spiritually

That inwardly alone will settle me

If that is so, than come quickly God Almighty

And fill me with your wisdom, power, and love

Set my affections and heart on things above

For that which I deal with here below

Is often nothing more than a vain show

Life is quite the rat race, always on the go

Surely there is more to this than meets the eye

To carry on like this day by day is to endlessly cry

Therefore open up the skies and send your glory

To reveal to me your ways and rewrite my life story

Life's complexities are too much for me

Come quickly and transform me

To be the man I ought to be

Or to be happily comfortable with me

Regardless of how others feel about me

Settle my soul and make me whole

For the elements of life are taking their toll

On this young man's precious soul.
