Title (optional)

I invested too much for the bet i never placed I never asked for a placemat to be set for the spills i didn't know i would make I never asked for these wrinkles on my face for the time i spent not missing you I never asked to feel so much in common with a speck of dust I never asked why to me the moon shines brighter than the sun at its very best I never asked why happiness to me was a shooting star beautiful too look at but hard to grasp I never asked a lot of things all because not everything has an answer not everything has to make sense not everything is anything you want to hear however all I do ask is that someday when you people decide to blossem babies into this perpetually doomed earth planet we call home all I ask is that you have the decency to tell your child with its eyes so wide that its not going to be easy cheers to the loners who wear masks too big or too small to fill the very shoes they never put on to go anywhere to do anything with anyone.
