Cest La Vie

take a look at this world
hunger, crime, and deceit.
try to change it for the better
but that gets thrown to the back seat.

sad time we live in
...but why despair.
i know that's kinda harsh
but all we can do is just breath the air.

life is worth living
if you see it through eyes like mine.
despite what bad there is
do what you want because all you got is time.

Nicely done. There is always a reason to live some people just have a hard time seeing why, but usually get there eventually. Most of us just have to kick and scream as much as possible along the way :) Luv ~Virginia
