Life (a drabble)

My definition of life is no longer a perfect picture. I see corruption everyday. I live in lies and act like life is great. Each time I smile it hurts deep in my soul, but not for me, rather for all the young children who are abused, laughed at for the bruises, and teased for general amusement. People who go to jail on bogus acquisitions while the real criminals set free on the streets, makes me worry about my own safety. Sadly, that’s what life is about. Let down after let down, maybe one day it will work out better.

    Well written although a little depressing. I hope that you begin to feel better about life in general. Cuz life is what you make of it. It can be good... it can be bad. What you look for is what you get.

    Thanks for joining the contest. And good luck in all that you do.

    Life certainly isn't a perfect picture and the other we get the more disillusioned we get. So muxh seems lost and defiled, nothing pure. Fortunately there are refreshing moments that balance these feelings.

    Pretty! I'll just assume it follows the 100 words, mostly because I don't feel like checking it, and it follows the theme decently. It also stands on it's own without any random details that mean something but can't be shown, which is nice.
