How do you Presume to Live?

by Gale   Jan 8, 2008


How do you presume to live?
With the whole world set against you
With the odds set in the other direction
You, yourself, cursed with every affliction

How do you presume to live?
With everyone telling you, "You Can't"
With no one to believe in you
Never good enough to be great
Never good enough to be a descent human being
Your life controlled by everyone else

It gets harder each day
To rise above
To overcome
Just to get by in this place

There are no opportunities
Nothing pure
Nothing sacred anymore
Everyone tainted by the evil of this world

You tell yourself, "There has to be good"
"This can't be it"
You try to believe there is still a chance
A chance to redeem
The harder you look the easier it is to find disappointment
To find Heartbreak
