Today is a day for darker thoughts
a hellish basket of whatnots
matters not for who or where
just life's demands
without regard it makes commands
Be and do is what is asked
all for one is how we're tasked
okay, I get it
I won't complain
suck it up's a long refrain
Once there was another life
one enjoyed with much less strife
a freedom for both to share and explore
then in the end a gentile decline
with love our guide as hearts entwine
But Fairy tales are simply that
a fervent hope for life's format
and hope is all they ever are
a desperate race to reach a goal
while life looks on and takes its toll
What the hell, we had a run
and for the better part it all was fun
we did achieve a lot of dreams
and if what we'll miss we think is bad
there are many more who never had
...what we once had
