And So Life Goes

All that is given is not all that is gotten
All that is needed is not at all what is wanted
And so life goes
Hidden beneath the blanket of secrets
Fearing what resides
Inside
Me
All that is spoken is not all that is heard
All that is said is not at all what is believed
And so life goes
Deaf ears silenced with hate
Numbing
Me
All that is stolen is never given back
All that is broken is never restored
And so life goes
Without consequence
Pressing
Twisting
Pushing
Pulling
Me
