Life is an awful friend

Life is an Awful Friend
by Dan Ankers


Some days life ambushes me, cause life is life
And it stabs me in my virgin heart, with an awful knife
Fashioned from a mixture, of things I do not know
And things I might have forgotten, or had chosen to ignore
And penetrates this onion, to his rotten core
I wonder just what, and really just how
I can make it out of bed, without feeling just dread
And how I don't lay there, and stare up at the ceiling
And ruminating, fearing, my feet touching the floor
I don't know how I make it out the door
I don't know what the fuck I'm living for
(Tell me, Am I being a bore?)

If life were my friend, I would recommend medication
A fella so fickle, could use a little meditation
(And maybe a vacation)

Sometimes I look, down this long stretch of road called life
And see wonderful things, that never appear
Fate, it seems, could care less for me
Actually maybe, I'm just too hopeful
Actually maybe, I need to slow down
I tend to get too far ahead of myself, and that's when I drown
I tend to believe in myself, which I hear is a good thing
Actually maybe, that's something I learned in grade school
Actually maybe, I am just crazy
(Well, At least I'm not lazy)

If life were a guy I knew, I'd say look dude, screw you
A man so malicious, is like someone fictitious
(Created by Stephen King, maybe?)

Some time may be needed, a little while longer
And Some time is in order, to assess the disorder
Forget having friendship, that's only Stockholm Syndrome
At best I would say, it's a strained friendship
At worst I'd say the world, has it in for this chimp
I know there are graver things, than having my life
I know that my life is good, as life on planet earth goes
At best I would say, that I'm just feeling low
At worst I would say, that I'm a whiny weirdo
I know that i'm done, because my stomach is growling
I know that I'm annoyed at something, but I can't remember what it was about
(You see I bounce back quite quickly, and emotionally, I'm quite stout)

If life were a person, he wouldn't be perfect
His childhood was bad, so he acts like his dad
(But I'm pretty sure, he's the only friend I have)
