about

Life is a trial. No matter who you are, there's a struggle to be had. This spoken word piece reflects on a catalogue of basic issues that can weigh on a person's mind.

lyrics

It’s a trial to be a person
aging body
imperfections
limited perception
hoping to see more
open to explore
yet certainly uncertain of what the truth is behind the curtain.

It’s a trial to make a living
standing or sitting
no matter how you’re giving
the question’s always ringing:
How could I be happier living what I’m living?

It’s a trial to be yearning
a person of burning
desires
self-doubt
secretly mouthed to a diary, a pillow, or lover without
clear knowledge of your mysterious route
or the deep down demons that twist and shout

It’s a trial to be fulfilled
negativity nil
perfectly present
issues killed

It’s a trial in this west
To feel deeply blessed
With that lingering pest
death
adding stress while pressed to do your best
cause you need to invest
in well-written tests
cast a radiant image and be
a social success

It’s a trial to lack vision
in a mechanical system
where the alarm clock is God
and your brain is fogged
so to make your thoughts jog
you suck back coffee
head out to your job
resent you’re not wealthy
but you at least have a blog
that 12 subscribe to
so you’re not just a cog

It’s a trial to break free
from the mold and see
that a lifetime on Earth
is worth more than money
and it pays to go after
love and laughter
sharing with freaks and geeks and masters
and animals and plants
which deserve more rants
cause we’re not the only ones
in this universe of chance
and no matter your stance
you depend on the dance
ff light, earth, water and biochemical romance.

It’s a trial to be human
man, child, or woman
alive in this place
of mystery and grace
busy on surface
questioning purpose
pressured to erase
juvenile passions which are seen as a waste
by parents or spouses who got slapped in the face
lost their faith
and so embraced
the fear of collapsing
they couldn't replace.
