Chapter 678

Get Back

Daily life goes on as always
Sometimes it fades to black
Why must every moment
Seem like it's an attack

Each new challenge
Turns into a drawback
When is one given a break
When is one cut some slack

Do moments of happiness exist
In only a fleeting flashback
Maybe to question the norm
Leaves one feeling like a quack

Maybe the reality of love itself
Is something one can only hijack
For surely in the end like always
It will dictate some type of payback

The mind may buckle and split
The heart will wither and crack
Words of love seem like a hack
No one wants to hear another yak

One can take life's blows
Absorb the endless forms of flak
Things are easier with a full rack
Everything else is only a setback

Does one forge boldly ahead
Or only retreat and fallback
Maybe everyone is only a snack
When one gives what do they get back

Nobody
