If I Only Knew
If I knew for sure that it's better after here
I'd probably slit my throat from ear to ear
To hear trumpets blare up there in paradise
But instead I'm still here relying on this vice
Thought more than twice how nice it'd be
To escape miniseries of reality T.V.
This here's no woe is me; just how I feel
Tired of being stomped by Achilles' heels
Deal or no deal; I spill ink like it's blood
Instead of spewing steel pills like Elmer Fudd
Low crawling in mud with my head held high
Soldiering on rather than choosing to die
I'd probably slit my throat from ear to ear
To hear trumpets blare up there in paradise
But instead I'm still here relying on this vice
Thought more than twice how nice it'd be
To escape miniseries of reality T.V.
This here's no woe is me; just how I feel
Tired of being stomped by Achilles' heels
Deal or no deal; I spill ink like it's blood
Instead of spewing steel pills like Elmer Fudd
Low crawling in mud with my head held high
Soldiering on rather than choosing to die

I know. It's just something that people say all the time. Saying that someone is "in a better place" when they're no longer here. Nobody knows that for sure. Thanks for reading and commenting.

...and there's the rub.........as is sometimes said. We might like the Great Escape.............but where to? On such a road there is no turning back. Regards, Robert. And good luck in the competition..

I feel you on this one Damon. There's so much pain and suffering we can only wonder what it would be on the other side.
Excellent spill.

I for one am glad you're here! We'd better give this life all we've got in case this is it! Thank you for your competition entry.

Every person that has made the best out of this life always complains about never having enough time.
They are amongst those who have found that which is worth living for.
So this assignment and mission that is given to us from birth has to be found and fulfilled prior to our predetermined departure

It doesn't and seem it during times of dark shadows, but tomorrow is indeed another chance. It's not just a chance for you to get it right, it's a chance for the world to get right with you. Believe us we know the thought of an easier way, finality or another day of this. Our life now, a million miles later, we are happy that tomorrow won.
