Finish Line
Never try to ask life a personal question
Because your response will be the same
one that Seri gives you:
let's just be friends
This is about you not me
I would rather not say
Do you want me to Google it?
It's like asking your best friend what
kind of ice cream you want to share.
Even when you already know it's
chocolate.
But you still hope they say vanilla.
Or trying to stop a steamy make-out
session to ask; how about we talk
instead.
Life can be a slap in the face from
Dad when he catches you coming
home late.
Or getting everything you wanted and
more Christmas morning.
It can be described as a series of
disappoinments leading to your death.
Or a miracle and gift blessed upon
us all.
Life is confusing
And stressful
sometimes you want to tie life to a
chair to beat the answers out of it.
But in the end life becomes a balance.
It's settling for chocolate, and hoping
next time you can get vanilla.
It's respecting each others personal
boundaries, and knowing when enough
is enough.
It's picking your fights in a war
And settling for something practical,
rather than desired.
Life is understanding what a Get-out-of
Jail free card really means.
And knowing when to use it.
Somehow along the way life has been
turned into a game.
Where everyone wants to win.
