Life happens to people
All things being equal
It could always be worse
So lift the curse
Heal these days
Cos I’ve changed my ways
Never let me lose
On this path that I choose
The yellow brick road
The golden path
Has given up the ghost
Happy never after
But every thorn has a rose
All that hurts someday goes
Everything I’ve lived has shown
Anywhere can be home
A human can overcome
Everything that’s been done
So never fall over again
And if you never give up
Sooner or later you’ll win
And if you never give up
You’re never truly beat
And the sweet joy of life
Never tasted so sweet
—
I truly believe that you’re never truly beaten or a failure if you never give up. And work hard enough for long enough and things will turn around. What I mean by the yellow brick road is the normal life path of go to school, get a job, get a wife, start a family. That life is never going to be mine and its heart breaking all the lost loves that could have been so beautiful. But there are a million and one experiences in this world worth living for and now as a free man I intend to sample some of what life has to offer.
There’s also a line form a famous song that says “I must have, fucked with some witch in turn she cursed me she cursed my life” I used to relate to that but now I finally feel that the curse has lifted.
Good luck. Love the way this poem drives forward to reach a bitter-sweet end.
