L.I.F.E
L is for the losing,
the luck if you can die.
The loneliness that never leaves,
the longing not to cry.
I is for impossible pain,
the incredible talent to remain numb.
The inevitable death due to choices we make,
the ill-concealed fear of what's to come.
F is for frustration,
at fate and what it's done.
The furious wish that you had wings to fly,
a flustered need to run.
E is for endless burning,
an eternity in hell.
The eager wish to instead go,
under enchanting heaven's spell
