Bittersweet

Dear Life,

Stop pretending to be pretty. Remove the mask and show me your ugly face! You're nothing!

You suck me into your black hole.

You make me lose sight and control.

You fool me to think you're my friend.

No! You're my foe till the end.

You're not the life before the afterlife.

You're the pre-life before the only life.

You're just a demo, an explanation

To God's power and creation.

Though joy to joy does not compare,

And pain to pain will not compare,

I used to live like you were all

That mattered, till the wake up call.

Years pass by leaving us behind

In the whirl yet we keep in mind

After this bittersweet trial

Everlasting heaven...

Or hell so vile.
