Life Is Not Easy

Nothing seems as ugly as the life itself
running through the denizens of meager coves

This life is dull, futile and colorless
withered and delusive to the time it ends

And they say this life is easy

Coaxes and hoaxes; this life of yours

Life seems to have given you a sense of urgency
and you say this life is easy

Nothing is more melodramatic than this
nothing, almost nothing

But still we live to say life isn't easy, is it?
