Some
some think they’re bulletproof,
some think they’ll never wake up
with a sickness they can’t explain,
some think none of their loved ones
will ever die,
some think they’ll never lose their
job,
some think their house will continue
to increase in value,
some think there property will always
be secure,
some think that their company will
always be on top,
some think that their kids will go to
the best colleges,
some think that their relationship is
“solid as a rock,”
some think that the world will only
end when their “god” has said so,
some think that their country is the
best & always will be,
some think that they’ll never be
homeless,
some think that they’ll never be
locked up in prison with the key
thrown away,
some think that their *****doesn’t
stink,
some think that stepping on the
backs of everyone will keep them
rising to the top &
some will lie their whole life through
until their dying day,
but some,
who do not fall into any of the
categories briefed above,
are able to look themselves in the
mirror.
