The Last Chapter

There is no such thing as the fairy tale life

in which happy endings come true like in movies or books.

There is not a Pearl Moon where one can touch for yourself

when, in reality, one sees that you're drowning in black water;

Falling from the un-biddened tear.

Just the visionary appearance of the slot machine

giving way to match chance encounters, problems, and solutions

all driven by the factor of choice and luck;

Dank struggles even when to forging the self.

I guess I wasn't strong enough to live.

The end.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The strong lived.  The weak died along the way.  Someone I knew once said that...  I guess he's right no matter what I did.
