Ah, Life! Sonnet Vii

Ah, Life! VII My Life! I didn’t choose to find your flaws but you persisted and pursued my mind, enlisting Men to write me decent laws, demanding I leave questions far behind. Weep not a tear when I have passed you by for I’d not spare for you the same in turn. Remember nothing more than how much I resented lessons you decreed I learn! It’s not a matter of dislike, but hate, that I would die to claim my precious Wraith Before I’d choose to live another day in skewed illusions of your packaged Faiths. Ah, Life, I never loved you from the start and yet you stalk my heavy, haunted heart!
