The Final Word

I look at my reflection Is that how life should be? A sitcom or a cartoon They're both so much like me But then there is the drama The painful side of life I'm sad to say with sorrow It's a struggle full of strife The days are like an ocean I'm trying to paddle through The sharks are at my feet And the shore is in my view But perservere I must I've got to reach the land I'm needing something solid If I'm gonna make a stand I have so much to say To the world within my realm My mind is in a maelstrom And I'm standing at the helm Good advice or bad advice They contradict the two Should I take it for myself Or give it all to you Life is such a juggernaut I cannot comprehend Just when the tip emerged And where it's going to end But if I have one thing to say Then let this be my piece When darkness falls upon my eyes I hope I rest in peace Rockman :-)
