Let’s go bowling


My time: like the money spent, is nonrefundable

My parents: like the 7 & 10 pin, split

My hopes and dreams: like the ball, down the gutter 

My friends: like the shoes, rented

My depression: like the ball, always returning

My self image: like the pins, shattered by the ball

My life: like a 300, the perfect game
