Bouncing Wrecking Ball
Life bounces me like a ping pong ball
up and down I journey and traverse
terror and ecstasy I feel with every fall
sometimes peering deep into the abyss
I spin in hurricanes when fate gets cruel
holding on, riding on the tail of destiny
hoping to survive each painful stumble
when the heart breaks missing soul
with strength I find solace and utmost peace
when I accept my fate with grace
swaying back and forth between joy and sorrow
always looking with hope for tomorrow
shall I then quit this life in relief
wondering who shall mourn me when I leave
up and down I journey and traverse
terror and ecstasy I feel with every fall
sometimes peering deep into the abyss
I spin in hurricanes when fate gets cruel
holding on, riding on the tail of destiny
hoping to survive each painful stumble
when the heart breaks missing soul
with strength I find solace and utmost peace
when I accept my fate with grace
swaying back and forth between joy and sorrow
always looking with hope for tomorrow
shall I then quit this life in relief
wondering who shall mourn me when I leave

I love optimistic outlooks that aim for good horizons despite what life s downs might cause,
We have a margin of will that helps us overcome bad fates..
Stay safe and happy Grace..

Re. Bouncing Wrecking Ball
I like how you have compared your life trials with that of the weather. As a side issue, I personally wouldn't waste too much time, thought, emotion or energy being concerned about who might miss me when I'm gone because it just feels irrelevant. The relevance comes in during moments of despair, when we need to draw strength from them, or simply to have a good chat, etc. It's all well & good if you can leave something behind for those loved ones, of course! But regarding my own wealth, I would much rather spend it on myself, haha; attitude being... I earned it, so I shall spend it! lol. 🤣

That's a pretty unique approach coming from the comp theme and how it applies to life.
Well done.
