Life says: “I am the only thing you get.”
I say: “Then I
will make you what I need.”
Life says: “You want to win? Then make a bet!”
I say: “It’s not
the winning—it’s the deed.”
Life says: “All your achievements I’ll anoint.”
I say: “Yeah;
right—maybe posthumously.”
Life says: “I really hate to disappoint.”
I say: “You sure
love doing it to me.”
Life says: “Swallow your pride and win a medal.”
I say: “I take
pride in what I’ve created.”
Life says: “I will not love you till you settle.”
I say: “Then I’ll
be happy to be hated.”
Life says: “Then
there is nothing I can give you.”
I say: “Then my
gift is, I get to live you.”
