life


People have an antidote

People may hide in a coat

Or drink

It only makes their mind shrink

Makes them go to the brink

Of self destruction

Jumping and causing a concussion

Losing all function

Forgetting all

Until their final fall

Life is something we all have

It's like turning a valve

It can be easy or hard

It's like throwing a card

Like cooking with lard

No one has it easy

It’d be too cheesy

Life and love

It's all the above

Flies away faster than a dove

Move on

Get away

Don’t stay

Find the perfect one

The one gone

The one alone

Find her and live along
