Chapter 185

It Happens

Things seem to occur fast
In the quick blink of an eye
We try to understand what happened
Look around and wonder why

The cards of life are marked
Few seem to know the code
They know what hand you're holding
Before a single card has been showed

We take the blows and stabs
We can dodge very very few
Our heart and mind black and blue
Feeling the welts and scars accrue

One can only be used so much
Until there is nothing left to abuse
Ashes can still grow hot and burn
Everyone has something to lose

Nowhere to run or nowhere to hide
The cornered mouse rises to fight
Leave it no way out and it happens
Little claws and small teeth still bite

Nobody
