fauxcroft

Breathless, tired and down

Yet still choosing smiles over a frown,

Feeling as though life is too much,

Yet still fighting for a change

Because I actually give a fuck,

About others worse off than me

And though life beats me to my knees,

I get up, because what’s the alternative

I won’t be dictated to or forced to live,

Under the cosh of this systematic oppression

Fuck your corruption wars and recession,

I will care and continue to display love

And every time I think I’ve had enough,

I remember that when things get tough

That there’s always calm seas and not just rough,

And over time if we weather the storms

Well realise it was a miracle we were born,

And therefore we should make the most of it

While showing gratitude that we even exist,

And that no matter how much of a slog life can be

We can always choose to break out and break free,

And not just accept this is how life is supposed to be.
