Lifes Battle

People look, 
but do not see.
People hear, 
but they do not listen.
People touch, 
but they do not feel.

I sit here in this place of mystery.
I sit here and wonder, 
why life is such a secrecy.
I sit here and listen to the thunder.

I stay here unseen.
I stay here unheard.
I stay here unfelt.
I stay here unknown.

Life is full of pouts.
Life is full of secrets.
Life is full of doubts.
Life is full of bets.

Bets on life.
Bets on money.
Bets on men.
Bets on women.

No matter what life brings,
I'm always prepared.
No matter what life brings,
I'm never scared.
