So some say

So some say, life is a gift,
fill it with joy and rapture and bliss.
So some say, life is a dream,
they float through trial and passion unseen.
So some say, life is for living, for doing and being and having and giving.
So some say, life's a hard test,
live through the struggles to justify rest.
But If life's an illusion, then who am I to you?
If you can fail the test then I'm sure I can too.
After all of the living, who can analyse death?
Will it all become clear as I take my last breath?
So I say, life is a bitch,
you won't find it easy and it won't make you rich,
But do what you do, and do it loud do it proud,
don't let people push you and don't ever be cowed,
life's what you make it, your own private game,
you choose your own path, no two people the same,
and If ever you fear that the game's not for you,
have no qualms about change, "to thine ownself be true".
