Two sides

by Aaron Howard

Sunshine in the morning, Rain at night.
Wanting for everything, for once to turn out right.
Handshake in the morning, Hug at night.
Eye's closed by dust, open by morning's light..
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Always coming in last when you needed first.
Selling your soul for just some mere change
and none of us can figure out why life's so strange.
Slipping in the existential bathtub of reality.
where you find out how to start and deal with controversy
Another argument to settle in court.
Another arrangement to come up short.
Another child split from a unhappy home.
Another way to show them what it is to be alone.
