Nothing much to say.


Life is the experiences you have each day,

Some find guidance in spirituality,

Others find that they live only for play,

But your life is what you make it to be,

And it is our mistakes and success that show us the way.

 

People think that the poor live the most, 

While the famed and rich are hollow come next fad,

But I believe it is the average person who lives life,

And the everyday man who enjoys it's spice.

 

No man who lives from anothers hand can say,

What it is like to break bread with the rich of the day,

But neither can the celebrities tell of struggle,

They live only in the tabloids bright yellow exclamations.

 

I live each day,

make mistakes and share success equally,

But who am I to say,

Whether my life will really make a change.

 

I hope like any other to be great,

But not to forget the life of the common man,

To live well in my own right,

But never in ignorance of what it is to be human.

 

I'm not sure what to say in this slam,

I've no great suffering to let loose,

But I hope my words truley can,

tell others of the life of the common man.
