If life is but an illusion
Then my pain is not real
Leaving me in confusion
About what it is I do feel
If life is what I make it
But I don’t have control
I am at the end of my wit
Despair taking its toll
If life is everlasting
When I lay down to die
It surely is contrasting
And possibly a lie
If life is a journey
But I don’t have a map
I will be at the mercy
Of strangers laying a trap
If life is a dream
I don’t want to be awake
Afraid I would scream
Seeing what is at stake
If life is too short
There is much
I might have to abort
Without losing my touch
If life is a song
I don’t have much choice
But to sing right along
At the top of my voice
If life is a game
I will have to play
To stake my claim
And have it my way
If life is a joke
The joke is on me
I have to carry the yoke
Will never be free
So why worry about life
Go on, do what is right
Avoid any strife
Live in utter delight
