Life Ain't A Bed Of Roses

[Eb-C]

It’s just an unfortunate set of circumstance that leads some of us to doubt
We have nothing left to hope for as we’re gutless and without clout
Some have seen within us a profit or a prize
And we’ve no defence or security so we lose our fuckin minds
Mind you
They dangle hope infront of us
Convinced we’ll take the bait
Just so that it hurts more when they switch up from acting fake
Malicious
Mal intentions
Maleducatos
Malice
Spite
Sure you could try to convince me otherwise but I’m convinced that I am right
As I write this piece I feel them seething with righteous indignation
I’ve tried to right my wrongs but that too was perceived as provocation
I don’t wanna get my hopes up only to drown in devastation
It’s just a fact of life
For some, evil is an occupation
I do still have momentary peace of mind and joy
I do wish good for others with sincerity
It’s not a ploy
I honestly hope the truth prevails what ails those who’ve been spoiled
That they prosper and overcome that which confines them and destroys
I’ve no grand designs or aspirations or goals or plans or hope
I’m simply just surviving which to others is a joke
I don’t need to manifest a magical, masterful sanctuary
I’m resigned
This is but life
And life’s not always as it seems
