Earn It Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

Sometimes we try hard to please.
But no matter what we do it doesn't work.
So sit back and laugh.
Because life goes on in no certain way.
No matter if we like it or not.
Have you ever slept on a cot?
That is what today feels like.
So hard and stiff.
An constant lack of comfort.
Haven't had it for years.
A recluse for sure.
When you grow up this way.
It is also the way you like to live.
No steady placement.
No guarantees.
No silver spoon to travel the moon.
Nope just my self.
Dependence is neither something I need or desire.
You think little of me and that's fine.
I don't need your approval.
Stick your nose up at me and keep walking.
Better is a matter of context.
Which do you prefer a hand made or machine manufactured dress?
I had to work hard for every privilege I have.
Can you say the same?
Or are we just sticking to the making of faces.
Excellent hand gestures too.
Respect is not a given it is earned and you have yet to earn mine.
