And suddenly,
This love,
It's a game of ping pong,
Whenever I strike,
You just return the hit,
But you've got the advantage.

Back and forth,
To and from.
Hit bounce hit bounce.
Soon the ball moves quickly from my side to yours

Our paddles swing rapidly,
Like a kayak on a strong current.

We wash up on the shore,
We sit and watch the sunset.
It's beautiful.
You look at me.
"I love you."
We look into each other's eyes.
It's intense,
But we lean in...


Ow!
Another daydream...
And I just got hit in the eye with the ball.
Clumsy...
Life came,
It’s own purpose a mystery,
But I saw green leaves
And I felt the magic of soft days;
I shouted my song of happiness,
And in a sentimental movie,
I discovered my meaning.
I charged the earthquake,
Flattened the riot, plugged the volcano.
Life hung back, just out of sight,
Not caring whether my effort
Was indolent or right.

Then life confessed itself,
Dragging me through the muddy streets,
And just as I found it too much to bear,
Just as I came to know life, the predator,
And began to grieve my sentence,
Life showed me more sentimental theater
And I cried for myself,
And imagined truth and independence.
But life, incognizant, came again to the gate;
It mired me in the doorway of my opportunity,
It starved my children
And ignored my dire straits.
I was a prisoner in it.

Then I discovered life thriving
In burrowing beetles and worms,
As happy there as in me.
But I had lived out my screenplay;
I praised the author, and died earnestly.

Stuck in reverse,
While others move with ease.
Things are turning up,
For everyone but me.
You are one of those peoeple you go into my life and destroy it.
I hate you... you ruin me.
Everyone is obsessed with you, while I'm in the dust.

I hope you see this hate letter and change you ways
because you ruin me, my life.
I want you to change.
For the better not for the worst.
If you cannot change leave my life alone and everyone around me.
Just go away.

*This is my hate letter to you

The snow starts to fall,
But does not yet stick.
The air smells of frigid,
And my coat becomes thick.
The delicate snowflakes,
Always a charm.
It's getting cold.
And I need your warm arms.

But I don't want to make it more complicated.
This love triangle has spun into a spider web,
And I mustn't get stuck in the middle,
For in this web,
I would be the prey.
I do not want to get hurt,
But dare I surrender?

Staring wide-eyed in the mirror,
I think back to first grade.
Remember that little girl who wanted nothing more than to grow up?
Strong,
Independent,
Pretty,
Smart.
I study my reflection.
I just don't want to let her down.
A leader?
A warrior?
A servant?
This ****** Life!

A life cursed from the beginning.
A heart made to serve,
A dream of leadership,
but a voice nobody listens.

Oh! The horrible wreckage!

An abomination from Hell,
touched by the Angels from Heaven.

A War!

This ****** Life!

A spirit that rushes to the aid of others,
but at it's own time of need,
is left alone to suffer and rot.

A misunderstood figure,
a tragedy worthy of de Bergerac.

Oh how the lake weeps,
Oh how the birds sing so sadly,
All crying for this Cursed Man.

Where did this Man go wrong?
An abomination!
A Curse!
A Mistake...

Mocked,
Stabbed,
Spat.

The World Died,
When it just begun,

Service?
Patriotism?
or is it all Retribution?

A Heart that Bled,
A Heart that went cold,
A soul lost,
A life wasted.

This ****** Life!

A Wanderer?
Nay!
A Traitor?
Nay!

A Cursed Life,
Born of Hell,
saved by Heaven.

A misunderstood leader,
A broken warrior,
A bleeding servant,
A cold heart,

****** Life!
A Cursed Life!

Because I don't care enough to want to learn this.
Bored in science...ranting...in 10 words.
