A person once said The best of the best Is what makes People want more In life than the days Given to them On a dull platter, And yet in the end Nothing matters Quite as much as those Things you can't put Into various sized containers Or glass jars if you're lucky, But this is a delusion To think about When the people Around you crumble From young stupidity And old frailty, From the likes of deadly Gasses and guns We carry around As if they have money Inserted into both, Sometimes our wallets And purses walk away On crippled legs And half-grown arms Knowing and remembering What made us fail The sounds that made Our mouths go dry And realize we weren't As unique as once thought, The pride before the Long descent down The cuts we feel As we crash into The discarded stars, Eventually we pick At the scabs Not wanting to see The scars But they are visible For everyone And forcing us To realize we are Still falling behind With no amount Of speed to help, We haven't done Our best but our worst In the hardest of circumstances, That makes us question the stage we stand and those watching us And still time Churns like butter Tasty and salty But nothing like Fate would bring.
