Life is mostly not a drag
it's important to point that out
at this moment
it's not a drag at all, at times
it all probably evens out really
you can still know these things when
feeling them feels like lies

most of my life has been
and will always be
out of my control
but within my bounds
for better or for worse
I have volition

the sun sits at the center of our solar system
except it doesn't
the combined motion and mass
of the rest of our solar system
puts the sun itself in orbit of a point
sometimes outside its own surface

when hope feels like lies
it's important to point out
at this moment
we have volition
