It is grim

It is gross

It reaps

These are things you know,

But what is it?

It is death

And life

And warfare

And strife.

It is silliness

And stupidness

And laziness

And children of the mistress.

But what really is it?

I cannot say.

It creeps up

To put you in a headlock

Then vanishes before you can get a good look

It will never give back what it took.

It makes you feel like this 😓

Then like this 😭

Then like this 😑

And then it sucks all the blood from you

And makes you feel like this 😶.


It makes you think ' I'm done '

But you really aren't.

It makes you hate what people you love

It makes you resent the angel and dove.


It makes you indescribably mad

And sad.

That all these people are so one-sided

Make of me what you wish

You make of me some rebel or renegade

When I don't want to be your house maid.

I am not the one who married you,

I never would.

And never will.


It vanishes before you can get a good look

And it will never give what it took

Not matter your life

Your love

Your soul

It is life AND death

It vanishes before you can get a good look

will never give back what it took


And will never let you finish the last page in the book.
