confusion

we are often confused.

goes with the territory of being here
on earth.

pushed down
by gravity and our own
perceptions of what
is or
isn't true.

we're perplexed, baffled
by

we struggle to keep upright.
the years
pile up.

his own pool
of despair,

or sun that rises when all
is right.

we are often confused.

it's a club we're all members to,
check out
time

comes all too soon.
