Life is what we want it to be,
Lies we have heard our whole lives.
Living to chase our "dreams".
Longing for a different experience.
Lying to ourselves about how we are.
Labels that have no meaning.
Lacking joy and emotions just to get by.
Laughing at our pain to hide the lies.
Lazy days seem to0 hard to take.
Learning new things to feel the void,
Leaving us feeling empty and unsatisfied.
Life, can be hard sometimes.
Living in a world where life is not free.
Life is precious,
Like most say.
Lately, it does not seem that way.
