такова жизнь, как говорят французы

C'est la vie

If I could fly
above the rest
Would only mean,
that I’ve got wings.
I’ve challenged
many to a test
And I have borrowed
many things.

I’ve got it all,
I am a Star!
I’m so glad
I’ve  won a price,
Above all others
by a far,
By just
one lucky
toss of dice.

Those,
who don’t know me
so  well,
Might think
I’m rude
and full of steam,
But I
could show you
the way
To help you
realize your dream.

It takes a challenge
 to retrieve
Lost glory
though the roughest
rhyme
Without a doubt
 I would give
My verses, 
knowing
they’re mine.

Think
that I’m going
through hell,
Without a doubt,
you could be right ,
But how
could you ever tell,
Without ripping
through my mind?

Without fear,
without regrets
I’m kinda lost
in all my work
My struggling soul
 will possess
Abruptly everyone...
 “oink-oink”.

It’s funny in a way,
but please,
Remaining still,
forever lost,
-Let’s smile for a camera!
-Say cheese!
This might just be
 a happy post.

I’ll wait for you
 when you are done
I’ll cry with you,
when you are sad,
Don’t follow me
when I’m gone,
Just let me be,
you should be glad.

 Reality
is full of crap,
We mostly dream
of things to own,
We win by chance
and then ASAP
We’ll give away
 all we have won.

But then we cry.
We sure are glad,
We’ve changed
our own state of mind,
No longer
are we feeling sad?
Think that we made it?
Are we fine?

But then
we feel like
life has gone,
There’re no challenges
to mend,
But wait,
please wait,
I am not done,
I still have
so much time
to spend.

To build, to crash...
 To implement
All those techniques,
that I’ve created,
Illusion’s
 mightiest expert,
Will find the way
to stay
demented.

Oh really?
Why?
The one might ask,
Why do we keep
our business logic?
We only
could create a task,
Just to remind ourselves
of tragic.

 For all there is,
I’ll play by rules.
It will result
in such a burden
This life has chosen
 many fools,
I’ll pass on that,
For that,
I’m certain ...
