Living

The Art of Living is dying knowing
	that you’ve truly lived.
People look for answers from “so called” Sages,
	only to have them destroy their lives.
Seeking guidance from those who can’t control
	their own lives, they wallow in disappointment
And agony only to perpetuate the circle of lies.

As for me, I stand alone just looking for 
	company, but Love’s arrow often times leaves me wounded.
I hate myself for falling in love and only suffering
	pain; you would think that I’d learn from 
These mistakes, but I strive to find happiness
	anyway.
The affliction of the fool is the desire of
	the wise.
