The Downside Of An Upside Lived

The downside of an upside lived,
Is like the body cleansing itself...
To rid from a cold or a virus inflicted.

Those trying to cling onto something,
Possessed with a tightening hold...
Are the ones most embarrassed,
By a letting go of that which exposes.

It is all recycled!
To renew and replace.
Here today and gone tomorrow,
Is a part of life difficult to face.

If there wasn't two sides of a coin,
What would be the purpose...
To wish for heads or tails?
How boring it would be if neither existed.
