Trial and error.
Time spent in denial
and life lived in terror.
Fighting battles daily
and you’ll say
one day,
far away,
that it was all a game.
But the games we play
turn into mazes we create,
as comfort sets in
we tend to overcomplicate.
Then one day,
we turn around
and find that there
is no way out
and all of our games
are done being played.
What a brilliant trap we’ve made.
Look around,
you’ll find there’s no escape.
So smart,
so talented
to create
such a beautiful grave.
