such is life
that when you are broke
your car will also break
because luck is another word
that only holds letters
and not much more
such is life
that when you are running late
you will hit traffic
because we all cant tune it
on the two's
like we should
such is life
that when your separated half
signs the papers
you will inevitably lose everyone else
at the same time
karma is a bitch
such is life
that on my death bed
i am sure to have some kind of ridiculous
thing happen to me
like a bill collector showing up
or all the electricity shutting off
such is life
that ironic
luck
and fate
are but only syllables
trying to make it fair

Great poem! Yes, sick, ironic, call it what you will - such it is! Thank you for this entry.
-
this is a great take on the prompt, it reminds me of the song "ironic" by alanis morisette but less cliche, best of luck in the contest
-
Good work. Yep... life is pretty damn ironic!
-
first stanza is sick. been thinking about that alot lately..
and how some people confuse what people are actually saying to what they are actualyl trying to say
and so just
bullshit them selves cuz they dont wanna hear it
idk though
life is amazing
so much to think about.
its impossible to know everything.
so sick.
[3xapplause but i am too poor !! ] :] -
hahaha!
This was really great!
I love your sense of humor.
I believe your outlook on life
is right at the edge of paranoia.
You make me laugh because most if
not all you said was true.
Thanks for a delightful write.

this made me laugh cause it sounds like the lil things that happen in my hectic world that leave me saying "only me"

Ah. now I see why we get along! The glass isn't half-empty OR half full!
It's chipped, there's something nasty in it, and somebody's bound to fuck with ya anyway, so buy a shot instead!
This gave me a crooked smile, cause you captured my near-daily sentiments exactly
