To you Life I direct these words in an effort to get your attention,

I have battled with you endlessly and held on throughout all this dissension.

You have tortured me relentlessly as I battle with you for an answer,

You have put me through hell, and you still continue to get worse like a cancer.

I have never asked you for anything except to let me be happy,

And what’s the response you give me? You seem to get mad at me.

Why Life? Why me? Why do you persistently want to see me suffer?

I have done nothing to you, I even forgave you for leaving my brother.

That’s right Life, If it wasn’t for you walking out on him I may have my twin,

But no, You left, and now I will never get to see him.

What did I do to deserve to be treated this way? By you above all,

Do you feel I owe you something and this is how you’re making me fall?

Well I don’t. I owe you nothing in fact I believe you’re the one who owe’s me,

That’s right Life. Because with everything that you have done, I think I deserve

an apology.

I ask you not to apologize for anything that I have deserved,

But it’s those extra things you have added on for which I want to here the words.

So for all the years I have suffered and all the days you have tortured me,

I now stand here right before you Life, and demand you give me an apology.
