I am ...
April 25, 2016
I am a child struggling to be an adult
I am loyal to my friends and family to a fault
I love to live
I live to love
I’ve found that our time is short
This time until we kiss the sky above
I dream to live
I live in dreams
And most people would too
If they’d seen the same things
It hurts to live
I hurt it live
Eat or get eaten
Get beat or do the beating
Life is hard no big surprise
But it doesn’t help when you go up on lies
Mom loves Dad
Ha … only until things get bad
They love me
Until they don’t like what they see
I live in darkness
I live in light
I am the line
So all is right
