Not a controversy

Then what

Life is a peculiarity,

It's so weirdly surprising,

It makes predictions unpredictable,

And impossibilities happen,

Life knows you know it knows you,

But nevertheless, you don't know life,

Hence, what are you gonna say next is unpredictable,

Seconds matter to make you dumbfounded or brought down,

It's been a theory,

That life crafts you the equilibrium to become prominent,

If you manifest it,

You embrace life,

If you don't,

Life embarrasses you,

But if your briskness to see you,

the phenomenon you've been dreaming of,

Is off the charts,

Damn those theories,

They are officially and automatically ruled out in the long run

    Well-wrought! The gap between theory and practice is only explorable through experience.

    I love how this piece dances with the unpredictability of life! It's like life’s twists and turns make all the rules and theories seem irrelevant in the end. Really captures that feeling of embracing the unexpected and rolling with it!
