May 2018
As I wipe tears from my eyes.
I suddenly realize.
Life is full of lies.
With zero compromise.

Do all the good you wish.
You will still feed from the dish.
You will never catch enough fish.
You will still have that one wish.

You will always want more.
Always look behind that door.
Always pacing the same floor.
Always screaming from the core.

Always punching that clock.
Never leaving the dock.
Following the same flock.
Hiding behind the same rock.
