House of Cards

You think you’ve had it all,

That now your time has come.

But then life comes along,

And sucks you right back in

You built your house of cards,

Feel proud of what you did.

But then life crosses your path,

Kicks it to the ground,

As if it has never been

You worked your way around

Cursed loudly, threw some punches

But then life knocks on the door

Averred to compromise

It forever leaves you wondering
