400 Poem Challenge (completed December 26, 10:15am)

status quo

there's no use pretending

that every day's a happy ending

we don't know what to expect

we do our very best

try to rise above the rest

but still, we get what we get

life isn't made of fairytales

and it isn't always happy trails

we reap exactly what we sow

we simply live each day

and at times, we just pray

that life will be our status quo
