Life's No Guarantee
by Shy LeighYou can have all the plastic surgery money can buy,
But there's no guarantee
you'll be beautiful.
You can burn
all the pictures you possess,
But there's no guarantee
you'll forget the memories.
You can have sex
with everyone you want,
But there's no guarantee
anyone will make love to you.
You can shoot yourself in the head,
But there's no guarantee you'll die.
You can exist here on this earth,
But there's no guarantee you'll live.
