I Used to Think

By Abbyernathie

I used to think that
life was like a sit-com.
That all problems could
be fixed in 30 minutes,
Or if it was a really
beg problem,
there would be another
episode to fix it all.
But i've discovered that
life is a mere
torturing device for Satan.
I used to think that
Boys made sense.
That everyone had a soulmate.
Someone to grow old with,
to hold you close when
you're cold or scared,
but that was when
the most confusing thing
boys ever did was
knocking down your castle of blocks.
Now they say they
Like you and that you
Have a chance,
And go get another girlfriend.
I used to think tht
life was peachy,
but then life
ate my peaches.

    "Movin' to the country, gonna eat me a lot of peaches..." Spiffy write. I like the joke at the end, good stuff.
