Poisoned Lemons
July 16, 2016
I have a life to live,
so why the hell would I give it up to
smoking,
drinking,
drugs,
crime,
poor decisions,
or untrustworthy people?
I want it all to stay far away from me.
But life isn't that kind.
Even if I will never involve myself
with these repulsive things,
life threw people at me who do.
How do you expect me
to make lemonade
with poisoned lemons?
