Life is something to love

Some say she’s perfect

But do you see?

The way she flits,

Between, between

Life and death

Here she comes

Through foggy ways and bright lit sun

They see the twisted smile upon her face

Her open hand extended like grace

They say she helped them along the way,

What I’d like to know,

Is the price they paid.

The author's comments:
We are all slaves to something, are we not? Slaves to our own passions, wants, and to the things we glorify. Nothing comes free in life, and life is what you make of it. In a world that's always changing, be wary of who is there to truly benefit your life, and who is there just for the good-time ride. I really found out a lot about myself this past year, and about the type of friends I truly had. After albeit difficult and painful soul-searching, I realized that so many things in life that we hold dear are really just candy-coated poisons. Be careful of deceptive dipped tragedies!
