I'M Merely

Life is for those who live, I simply exist Left at life's mercy with all it's turns and twist I'm merely a body weightless paper thin To be blown and tossed about by life's merciless wind I'm but a leaf many among a tree Left to dangle here to see what seasons bring I'm but a wave slammed hard against life's rocks Even though I feel the pain, waves don't really talk I'm but a flower, life's a careless kid That extends it's arm out and my flower gets picked Life is what you make it I feed myself these lies For I'm merely a passenger experiencing the ride
