It is what it is

Everything happens for a reason
Except rape and earthquakes.
What goes around comes around
Unless you get away with it.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
Unless it’s a stroke.
Tomorrow’s another day
But not if you die in your sleep.
Karma’s a bitch
No, karma’s a fairy story
Rich boys get off murder raps
Babies die the day they’re born
Or before.
Oh well.
Time heals all wounds.
It’s just sometimes
you have to 
wait
forever.

James

You are my ton of bricks, I can’t see anything but you.
I want to fold up inside you, safe beneath your skin.
Alone I’m on stand-by
Only you can resurrect me.
