Never have I ever

[skonen_blades]

Never have I ever is depressing as an adult
Never have I ever.....believed in myself
Never have I ever.....persevered past the first setback
Never have I ever.....put others before myself
Never have I ever……gotten the help I needed
None of us drink
We all end up way too sober
Which is good because we have to work tomorrow
And school was fun compared to work
And we didn’t like school
But hey
Romeo wasn’t built in a day
And a diamond in the rough is forever
And I’ve got the upper hand when the game is afoot
Speak now or forever hold your pizza
Which doesn’t sound like a bad deal
And sure
Life is a highway but cars are destroying the planet
I’d rather it was a footpath through the forest
Even though the man I am
Would be eaten by wild animals
Or more likely just die from eating the wrong berries
Because I have been completely divorced from nature
I don’t mind a quick supervised camping session now and then
But I love a warm home
Hairless monkey that I am
Dependent on capitalism
Participating in it by turning money into food
But there’s hope
The spark of life inside can always bloom into a fire
That jumps from person to person
Spreading love
