Alliance with Life **WildMagic**

I didn't know fear until life was nearly lost
I didn't care for consequence until i knew the cost
Life was a playground until i learned
Each cent in life was better off earned
Though the hand i was dealt in lfe was not my choosing
I knew playing that hand would be a life of losing
Glaring at the invisible hand of tragedy, loss, and plight after plight
I wouldn't play that hand...i was going to fight
Enfuriated Life stole two of my treasures into It's brother, Death
In less than half a year, they each breathed their last breath
Life had wounded me, but squaring my shoulders with a cry,
"You can take them away, but as long as i live, no spirit will die!"
I knew i'd gained an enemy, but my heart knew that would not do
I needed teh help of my nemesis in order to get through
So we formed an alliance, Life and I, though It had one request
Every once in awhile, Life would throw in a little test
Social situations were a favorite, but Life went off track
He handed my thoughts to his brother, which was nothing short of an attack
So Life lingered near, Death lurking as a common thief
Trying to toy with my every belief
I pleaded with Life to take me under Its wing
Life seemingly pondered, and agreed to this one thing
So the alliance was remade, for i needed Life and Life needed me
But we shared on common problem: neither of us knew what my life was to be
"That's why we need to work together," i murmured to the air
To God, to angels, to anyone who might care
I smile at the reflection in my mirror, the existance that i need
"Then we shall see where the future may lead"
