It Is What It Is Poem by Mike Duralia

There are times in your life, That challenge who you are
No matter which way you turn, You feel you don't get far
But what you need to know, Is already in your past
Good times come & good times go, And bad times never last

CHORUS
It is what it is, Don't let it get you down
It is what it is, Good times will come back around

I know it's really hard, When others criticize
They pass along their pain and fear, And all the hate in their lives
Stay focused on your purpose, Do the best that you can do
No matter what may happen, You always have strength in you
[CHORUS]

So remember what's important, Family, friends and love
Don't let bad things distract you, Have faith in what's high above
Learn to live in the moment, And pretty soon you'll see
Everyone that's watching you, Will know who they want to be
[CHORUS]
