So they say when life hands you lemons. To do something useful with them right? Make lemonade eh? Perhaps some sorbet? Who knows. but sometimes Life just isn't that easy. Life may hand you lemons but it often doesn't hand you the other ingredients. Those are the Ingredients you have to find yourself. The Important ones that don't grow on trees. ^_^

But... here it is anyways,

(When Life gives you lemons.)

The lemons pile up. I can't make this much ade.

Pain set's in as life starts to fade


No glass to hold, No way to contain

Spilling emotion, going insane.


Not enough sugar, No sweetness to add...

Never thought I'd feel this bad.



Not enough liquid, No water to delude...

Take myself and seclude.


No straws to sip, This is no fun

As my tears begin to run


Not any ice, No cooling the heat

Feel the burn. Bittersweet.

End.



The Lemons being the first Ingredient obviously represent the problems in life. Ad sometimes You just can't get enough help with them.

The glass represents control. Without any control to help maintain your life you would literally go insane eventually...

The sugar is the sweetness of life. ie Friends and family. the people who not only do, But strive, to show you they care on a daily basis.

The water Represents a cleansing or a distraction. There is no starting over. No going back. No forgetting. Without a way to relieve yourself or "Delude" your problems. All the little things just seem worse and worse.

The straw represents, again a form of control It allows you to take a little at a time and enjoy drinking it in a different way rather than swallowing it all at once. You need balance in life.

The ice represents obviously a phase of cooldown. A break. So you can finanly stop caring and live life even if just for a second. But Without the problems letting up, your just going to keep getting burned until you can't take it anymore.
