Asymptote

Life can feel like an asymptote,
           A never ending line with a constant slope
                  Born of a line oh’ so negative,
         Lets go ahead and change that narrative

        Exponents may cause a bump somewhere
                 An integral part of the worldly affair
                   Up, down, coming from where?
           Adding to the adventure, life sure ain’t fair
      
           Domain and range, emerge and constrict 
          Adding to the conflict, nothing can restrict
            Their shackles tighten, defining limits
               Allowing through, if only one commits                   
       
                     Life can feel like an asymptote,
             Now, an ever changing line with an inconsistent slope
                         Born of a line oh so negative
          What a long way from such a bad narrative.
