Day 24: Sometimes Cruel

I have been held down before,

I’ve been shot into the sun,

And I know this much is true;

That fate can be sometimes cruel.

Love’s gutted me on spear points,

Hate’s held me to his bosom,

Yet I know this much is true;

That fate can be sometimes cruel.

Next time things might go better,

Now all I got is the bitter.

Cause I know this much is true;

That fate can be sometimes cruel.

I have wandered tho not lost;

I’ve forayed at personal cost,

So I know this much is true;

That fate can be sometimes cruel.
