Live & Die

You live and die And that’s all you can do in this life This day tomorrow may not be wished upon As the eve of my passing days seem rougher than shown And everything you do reminds you of chances blown Off to the sides as a pedestrian you continue to roam In your deepest pleasures you no longer lust to moan You live and you die And that’s all you can do in this life You try and you attempt to get by But you falter, and die Key words being said “you try” I’m always alone Always and forever, I have no home You bow your head And you pray to your god I smile, no I smirk For I know there is no easing this hurt My casual worth Sarcastically is actually dirt You live and you die And that’s all you can do in this life What other reason could one be here? Other than to pursue pleasure and happiness Yet enduring this pursuit of comfort We are plagued with what happens to be stress I’m open to all thoughts, so you tell me What can you do besides live and die I hear that’s all you can do in this life
