Complicated


Why do we worry and where do we place our values

life is not as simple as pass go and collect 200 dollars

the ideas you are fed help none what so ever

struggling for self identification and reconciliation

try as you will fail a time or two and life continues on

millions with dreams and millions more broke

traffic passing by people staring you down

to eat to sleep to wake again to do the things

you always do
