Broken Fences

If you’re lucky life is long
Time to learn and grow
Make mistakes
Right some wrongs

First loves, last words spoken
And all the in between
That’s what makes us or breaks us  
Until what is left is shadows and memories

It's like digging out of a hole
Then stepping into the abyss
Hoping for a soft landing
It’s always hit or miss

Always chasing what is yet to be  
What comes next is a mystery
It’s white lines with sharp edges
Hairpin turns and broken fences

Hard lessons are mixed blessings
If you can make it through the pain
Buckle up it could get rough
When you get knocked down
Just get up and do it again
