Life Bites

By: JDC Resident



My life is full of tragedy

Hurt and pain left and right

I see things a little differently

Looking for sunshine in the night



I think I’ve met the snake of the earth

And stepped in his rattling tail

Ever since the day of my birth

I’ve believed I was put here to fail



The snake has had its turn

It has bit me once or twice

I’ve felt its venom burn

Realized life’s not always nice



I feel hurt and the infection

I fight it everyday

When I go the right direction

It takes the pain away



When I fight it, the infection never lasts

All I have is thoughts of a better tomorrow

It’s hard to put the pain in the past

But it’s worth it to get rid of the sorrow
