There is a way through this maze called life.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Avoid the traps, manholes, and fights.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

To have a fight must first come disagreement.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

To avoid it usually means concede sent.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Be what they call the bigger man.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Concede your point, if you can.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The same with overwhelming emotions.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Such a thing can cause a commotion.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Maneuver around them as best you can.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Emotional scars will remain, like grains of sand.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

In every endeavor we make in life.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It is a big game, often with strife.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

To win this game will take much skill.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You can do it, if you have the will.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

You can become an exceptional player.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Defeating each problem layer by layer.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t stop on free parking. A mental breakdown.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Just move right on past with your head down.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Work on increasing your positives.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Work on decreasing your negatives.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The game of life can be tons of fun.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

But, you can also feel under the gun.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It is all how you play the game.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Play to win. You will love what you gain.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
