- E.A. Poe
Landing upon life
Is not choice but invasion;
We are invaded by life.
It is dictated to us
In a cyclical timeline,
Round and round,
Until we get it right.
And for some,
Life is too much,
And for others,
Life is not enough.
But for a hopeful few
Like me and you-
Regular people
Whether religious
Or wrong,
Our shadows stick
To the ground
And we are all trying
To find happiness
As simple as baking cookies
To take a bite out of gloom
Not many of us
Get a second chance
To be corrupted.
