LIFE....as I make it....

I wonder which way the tide may turn.
I wonder why I am sad sometimes.
I miss another, can I not learn?

I hate my situation here.
I hate the way the world is hungry.
I hate my desire for a beer.

I love a man far so distracted from me.
I love my child and the one to be.
I love my family.

I think about my life.
I think that "people" are dumb.
I think about all of the strife.

I want things I cannot obtain,
I want my old life sometimes.
I want to not sustain.

I am glad I am alive.
I am glad because of my friends.
I am glad you will eventually arrive.
