life

life

life it creeps up on you
when you are not looking
it taps you on the shoulder
and whispers
i am booking
you a one way  ticket to hell
it reminds you not to play
innocent games like kiss and tell

life is just shite
with a pretty yellow ribbon
it is suffering and pain
it comes in a box with a polite name
life is fear, frustration, false expectations
life isnt even clean living
its not achieving and giving
its dirty , dark, and wants you to do its bidding
life is never forgiving

as soon as we are born , we are dying
life is full of dying, lying, cheating, crying
waiting for the grim reaper
to end all of your trying
it crawls into your mouth
and slides down your throat
infesting your body
like an unwelcome host
life is really death, and death is a ghost


life is wuthering heights, gone with the wind
a false sence of security
a tale full of sins
it is frailty, anxiety, cold raw sobriety
life is dark frightning fear
that starts in your stomach
works its way up to your brain
it is confusion, insecurity
self destruction and pain

the illusion of life is an open vein
spewing out blood again and again
perhaps from a depressed sad friend
who self harms when
he feels the world no longer cares
so he rolls up his sleeve and tears and tears
till there is only red liquid there
life is bandages, cuts,
screaming help me from your guts
it is rejection, a human injection of reality

life is cold and uneasy
it is a shadow in the night
it is wanting , needing, madness , fright
life is the boogeyman
that lives under your bed
it feeds and suceeds
getting into your head
life is death, death is the final dread
