A bit of time
What was your thought?
That life would be a “walk in the park”. That it would not be a sacrifice
where you would go hungry or not be loved.
What did you think?
That time here was always going to be grand, that misery would not hold your hand.
Times that make you feel less of a woman,
of a man with no escape plan.
Fragile, broken, dis-hearted, the soul corrupt, by emotions that arise abrupt.
Yes, no walks will there be
in this sensation we call being.
Not now! Not ever! Will our stay become easier, even in the 21st century.
So, endure.
Live, as we only have
our spirit,
our mind.
And in this place a small amount of time.
