Life as we know it

 

In the beginning,

 

Everyone loves you…

You are small…weak and crying

Confused, red, and cold…

Everyone wants to hold you, hug you, love you

Everyone wants to feed you burp you, and care for you,

They throw you in a crib and laugh at what you do,

 

But as time goes on, people start to care less, and less

You’re a teenager, learning to live on your own,

You are getting bigger, stronger and learning to cope

But you seem to see that people grow more apart from you

Everyone still cares for you…

Everyone still watches you…

But its still not the same

 

In the end

No one cares…

You are small…weak…and crying

Confused, red, and cold

How come no one wants to hold you. Care for you, or love you

How come no one wants to feed you, help you, take care of you

They throw you in a retirement home and dont care what you do

 

How come as life goes on, people look at other people like an object

as you age, you loss your worth

thats true but I think you should try and think of it as more than people hating on you and seeing it as people dealing with their own problems
