As I contemplate the world around me
Love isn't a guarantee, nor is happiness
But failure makes me want to choke
I try to understand and be forgiving
My hunger for existence is ravenous
My dreams never measured up
My ideas never came into being
I'd always pursued finding love
But isolation
Allows the reality to be seen
I am alone now
I'll be alone forever
I might give in
But I won't be a beggar
Life is not promised
Happiness has no guarantee
Let me realize my path
Let the chains fall
And let my heart be free
“I smell your cigar. Delicious! Give me one directly.”
