The Arrow Points That Way

47 13 12
                                    

The arrow points that way, 

Towards death, 

And fear, 

And pure hell. 


 The other arrow points that way, 

Towards smiles, 

And sunshine, 

And all that is well. 


 But I point this way, 

Towards the real world, 

With good times, 

And bad times, 

And really fucking sad times. 


 Because that's what life is. 

A shitty world 

With a few little bits of happiness. 


 But the contrast we get, 

When the bad times unfurl, 

Pushes out all regrets, 

And makes a sort of happy girl. 


 That girl is me 

Writing this poem you see.


Because I chose this way, 

And you should too. 

This is the right way 

Through and through.
