Once Upon a Tricky Life

You’re floating on a sudden woe
heart drowned in melancholy
concealing sob of blue
under sun shining woolly
Life is nothing but a trick
For boundless suffering
watching you howl and weak
ti’ll no strength for hollering.
Here, in bending knees
You cry, head low
Begging as your last piece
bursting in pain, you bellow.
Oh friend, it's me
I’ll light your murky way
Yes, you’re living in agony
I’ll take you out away.
Take my hands—yes both!
with your strengths remaining
Stand in two, you ought
to fight back life’s conning.
