Such is Life

Such is Life

 

I am the daughter of degradation.

A living symbol of what aught not be.

 

Fear not oh daughter of degradation.

Who you are and who you will be are two different things.

Two different people for two different purposes.

 

Love and Hate join hands and walk down the path of life together as friends.

The remorse of the wicked laid bare the land of the straight.

 

Like a broken arrow that flies off course, so are the dreams of the day.

The dreams of the day time.

The seemingly great abomination to the order of my life.

It’s like crying big tear drops into a bottomless bottle of clear, hard liquor.

People will drink it and never know the pain that has gone into it.

Such is life for all of us.
