Give and Take

This life we live is a zero-sum game. In exchange for life, with every breath we take.

We all chase pleasure, both sinners and saints. Any good that's had costs its exact amount in pain.

Whose happiness would you trade to hear my lips scream your name? Our defenses are morals we bend when we break.

In darkness we rationalize what we need to carry on another day. In the morning, what gets us up is all the same.
