Literature Text

we wake into life
a pound of flesh,
full of promise and
so beautifully
    flawed -

but at the end of the day,
here we are :
    still trying to make no mistakes,
    still trying to be perfect.
    still trying.
The title is a line from the song Don't Shoot Me, Santa Claus by The Killers. And yes, I referenced The Merchant of Venice even though I personally have never seen it in its entirety. Heehee.

:huggle: I miss you.

I love the repetition of the "still trying." Very cute but also powerful.
