A Zesty Life

Just Another Poem

By A. L. B.Published 5 years ago 1 min read

When the wake is rough

and the docks make me nervous..

Sometimes I imagine me,

floating on the water's surface.

Not because I want to die,

but because it seems so easy

to just let myself fall

and let the cold water consume me.

There would be no more worries.

There would be no more pain.

At least on my end.

But I think of the one's I'd leave behind

and how much I love them.

Life isn't meant to be easy.

But boy, can it fuck someone hard.

Often leaving one wondering how they made it so far.

But a loved one once told me,

that when Life gives you a lemon

to eat the whole fucking thing.

A little bit at a time right in front of Life.

And while slowly eating that lemon,

find someone to be the sugar on top.
