Twister

I always thought playing the game twister was a whole big mistake. But, it truly is not. As I stand here tied up in knots I find myself un-tangling life’s problems.
“Right foot Blue,”. As I un-twist my foot from a yellow spot, there goes my worries for tomorrow. And the next day and the next day.
“Left hand Green,”. As I move my left hand to a green spot I find myself forgetting about tomorrow’s science quiz. I think I’ve studied enough.
“Left foot Red,”. As I move my right foot I don’t care anymore. I don’t care about what people say or think about me. I think about how I feel.
“Right foot Yellow,”. As I un-tangle myself from all my problems, I realize that I’ll be okay. Life’s what you make it and I’m going to make the most of it. No matter what, life is a twister and it’ll always be. Not matter what you do you can’t say you don’t have any problems. But, right now I’m fine. Even if I find myself in yet, just another twister.
