Ode to This Life I Know
Crazy, confused.
I sometimes I hate this life I know.
Why can't anything turn out in my favor, you know, the major things.
'Come on life, that's low.
Since you find it funny when things go wrong,
Maybe I'll scream to the world my crush, just so you can laugh at me.
Why do you do this?
This isn't my cup of tea.
I could really wack 'ya,
But this I think I'll skip,
'Cause if I do you'll hit me back,
An unwanted dip
In the ocean.
I don't know why you are
So very, very low.
So I'm trying to convince you
With this ode to this life I know.
