Life

LIFE 

so yeah...
I guess
the bottom line is :
I am a complicated
confused cliché
educated
in self-preservation

I no longer require
your approval
…or denial
for that matter
perhaps just
some inspiration
and support
every now and then

this pit-stop
we call ‘life’
that we take so seriously
worry about continuously
is only a small
over the weekend
jail sentence
compared to what will 
come with death

Life...
isn’t nearly as
sacred as the
appreciation
of passion…
at the end
