Life

Life grabs us by the throat and won’t let go
It holds us captive and imprisons the soul
It tears at our dreams and destroys our vision
It makes gaping wounds of the smallest incisions
It weighs us down, crushing with doubt
Teaches us death is the only way out
Life has a tendency to break what doesn't bend
And the luxury of never making amends
Deceiving with hope, it leaves us empty
When you think about pain, life gives us plenty
