Chapter 628

Long Black Veil

To move forward in life
We try to prevail
Is what we believe
Only a fairytale

The harder we try
It seems the more we fail
It can cause us grief
And others to assail

Is there any freshness to life
Or has it all grown stale
Maybe it would be better
If we were in locked up in jail

We are slowly overwhelmed
As we are pounded by life's gale
Instead of growing stronger
We become weak and frail

We seek to surge ahead
We try to prosper and avail
Instead of things flourishing
They seem to crumble and curtail

We continue down life's trail
Always chasing our tail
As we try to tell our tale
Shrouded with a long black veil

Nobody
