it used to be so funny
how I wanted to grow up
tall, dark, and handsome
surrounded by beautiful women and money
lighting cigars off the green backs
supplied by a playboy bunny
Now life passes me, us, by
and every truth ever told
has no value, doesnt sparkle like gold
lies were the truth to me,
its all I was ever told
they flowed like water from the nile
abundant as they were
they never really satiated us kids,
more,
Now its so hard to live without those lies,
covering up any insecurity, doubts, regrets
and everytime I see my memory
I laugh, and thank whoever it may be
that the lies set me up to fail
failure is hard, life is harder
but once you fall flat you can only look up, hope
thanks, mom, dad,
for such a wonderful life
Well presented. I share your sentiments.
Peace, Eric
