Tatau(Polynesian Meaning)

A Short Poem

By simplicityPublished 8 months ago Updated 8 months ago 1 min read

I can't blame the news for theft, murder, or death
Just like I can't expect life to understand
I can't expect honey from vinegar
and wishing for gold alchemy will never make me rich
Being sick takes on new meaning when you're sick and tired
Just as being lost is scary with no direction or sense
Alone is worse, until it's like a leveled level between good and bad
Trust is that luxury to ignore until poor
Mirrors are there to remind us who is responsible
