They say you should reach for the moon and the stars,

But I fell back to earth, now I am nursing my scars.

They say the road to happiness may be hazardous and dim,

I tried to navigate it, and found out, I just couldn’t win.

They say life can be whatever you choose,

But no matter what I choose, I always seem to lose.

They say life may not be, a bed of roses,

But I can’t seem to answer, all the questions life poses.

They say that life is often, mysterious and deep,

I say, life is something I cannot keep,

I say, I’m praying for an endless sleep.
