Bad Metaphors
Love Is Like a Puzzle
That you just can never finish.
Love is like a child at the table
Behind a plate of spinach.
Hope Is Like an Anchor
That ties you to the ground
And soon forgets you there…
Screaming, but no one can hear a sound.
Dreams Are Like Reality,
So hopeful yet so cruel.
They give you the strength to go on
And then take away the fuel.
Promises Are Like Laws;
They’re just made to be broken.
They always seem to fall apart
Just as soon as they’re spoken.
Freedom Is Like Prison;
We’re condemned to be free.
It’s just a word we fight for
That we can’t understand or see.
And Life is Like a Movie
Because it will always end.
Some are good and some are bad
And from Death no one can mend.
