The Way It Is Date: Tuesday, 1st June 2004 @ 12:54:53 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: sheen Living my life Day after day Nothing ever changes No matter the way Trying to stay away From unsteady disarray This life I portray Is here everyday So I must move on Without delay Yelling and screaming Like the town crier Here I conspire To fight my one desire But all I wanna do Is get myself higher Now all I feel like Is that I'm sinking in the mire Standing in the line of fire My life calling in a cease fire Stopping to turn Only to find I've reopened fire In this pool of life I try and tread Only to know I hanging by a thread I see red When I try and get ahead Fearing what's next I could only dread For my heart has bled And now I'm dead.
