Out the Skanks

Life truly brings out the skanks,

The horrid and despicable,

All jostling for a chance,

To hurt and bite at me.

Still I try to lose myself,

Of the expectations of the wicked,

The drudgery of self-pity,

The fate of the downtrodden,

Because life can be hard or soft,

Depending on what I need done,

So I'll sit here and bring the best attitude,

To a deteriorating world view.
