THIS IS IT, LIFE

THIS IS IT, LIFE

This is it! I say, this is it!

I wanted juice, sweet juice,

For me, life chose lemon,

My bad! I’ll make lemon juice,

Suck it, detoxify whole self,

This is it. This is it, life.

I have planned, it crumbled,

I needed to make bread, I dread,

I got no wheat, but barley,

I now awn and I’m fermenting sour,

I’m drunk of it, life, this hour,

This is it. This is it, life.

This is it, for I let free,

Let flow free, life, let flow,

I gnash no more, but glow,

What I desire, I get, for I let free,

What it gives, I receive with glow,

This is it. This is it life,

I’m painless no more, but numb,

I grim no more, high is my thumb,

Life, I embrace, for I aren’t dumb,

For I made no life, life made me,

And I let free, make of it what it gives me,

Life, this is it. This is it!
