Bitter Lemons

When life gives you lemons, they expect you to accept it.

When life gives you lemons, they expect you to handle it.

When life gives you lemons, you're told to shrug it off.

When life gives you lemons, you're supposed to have the strength to turn things around.

But life gave me too many lemons.

Too many lemons to accept.

Too many lemons to handle.

Too many lemons to shrug off.

Too many lemons to find the strength to turn things around.

Instead I ate those lemons.

I threw those lemons.

I was crushed under the weight of those lemons.

And it made me bitter.
