Such Is Life

She is on auto pilot.

I handed the key to her and I said

Your’e in charge, I’m out of here.

She needed to save herself 

So she could answer the question.

I’m playing solitaire on my pad

For hours and hours.

I go to bed early

I sleep late 

and take a nap.

Too many things to think about, to worry about

To have time for self pity.

For once I thought to myself

I will have the best of both worlds.

After all that

She felt empty, spent

And defeated .
