Paranoid Cliches

Time and tide washes me aside;
Down but never out.
Like the punch drunk boxer I stagger,
Thrown from bout to bout.
The school of hard knocks is where I learnt,
People take more then they give;
Life hits hard, so kick right back.
It's the only way to live.
"Sanity ain't what it's meant to be."
Isn't that how the saying goes?
Look around at everyone,
And see not one of them knows.
"Life's not about winning,
But how you play the game."
It doesn't matter how you say it,
It all means the same.
The winners are the lucky ones,
With all this sage advice.
It's funny how they all say this,
With such a perfect life.
The only thing in reality,
That should be carved in stone;
"The winners are the lucky ones,
The losers stand alone."
