Without a Sense of Security

Never told what could happen
Each day is a lie.
a dirty, cold secret.
What to make of it?

As humans,
our lives behold to us the great abyss of reality
And as humans,
we just want it to go away.
But unfortunately,
it isn't possible.

Just when we think that life is all blossoms and apple pies,
we step outside,
do something while living on the edge,
and we get a healthy dose of actual living.

So much for childhood innocence.
