Dear Life,

What am I to You?

You shape around my nape

Urging me to go on

As you falsely accuse me of a ruse

Manipulating me like a puppeteer

Pulling tightly on my strings

You promise me so many good things

As I, naively, believe you

Every word you feed me

Like a child to a mother

Oh dear Life

How naive of me

Sometimes I wonder

What is your intent?

Pure?

I think not,

You never can decide

On the time to die

Dear Life,

What are you

To me?

Something to mess with?

Tricking you into believing

That you won't last long?

Something to laugh at

When times are rough?

When those questionable days come by

Wondering, wondering, wondering

Whether it was a joke or not

Truth or not

Something to miss

On those days of cold rain

When everything is going downhill

When I fall down that dark

Dark

Dark hole

Dear Life,

What are you to me?

And what am I. . . .

To you?
