Attitude Line



Attitude Line

To see loss, to feel loss requires perspective’s gloss
It might make you cry or realize it’s an irrelevant good bye
The feel of defeat or anger from no way to win
Not from competition but the stark reality of life, the shark’s fin

This is no esoteric exercise bathed in phony hysterics
It’s the rock face of reality that’s constantly met, life’s physics
Can’t run away so the human reaction is to try and forget
But that’s another thumb tack that pricks, so it’s rationalize instead

How fragile our wall against dread
Trying to imagine that it’ll always be fine instead
The sights of others struggling against death’s tugging
That’s mind terror grimly endured

Let’s have fun anyway while trouble, that rascal, lurks
Attitude is a bat that neutralizes attacks from jerks
And this works most of the time, we’re always in line
When your turn comes just act as if it’ll be fine
