The world around me is big and bold

But, all I feel is small and cold

There is never a fairytale ending

No godmother with a magic wand to grant your wish

Life is a cruel mistress

She does not give out free favors

Every man and woman must earn his or her keep

They must guard it night and day so as to never lose it

Life takes all

But Death gives you sweet relief

(No I'm not writing this because I'm going to kill myself or anything it just kinda popped into my head)
