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.
