in life,

we get
what
we get.

it is
what
we give
that
matters.

it tends
to get
forgotten
in the
day to day.

or we
give in to
expectations
feeling
cheated
when things
don’t go
how we
wanted.

grow bitter
scorned.

ignoring
the
happiness
all around.

then again

who the
fuck
am i
to say
anything

a fool
with
nothing
to give
but
a battered
heart
and
his soul
in
words.
