The Complex Onion

Life is a
complex
onion.

Peel back
the layers
and cry.

Open up
life's issues
one by one.

Use up the tissues
as you face
the onslaught
of the many-skinned
problems wrapped
around themselves
in endless sheets
of bitterness.

Life is a
complex onion.

Go after it
with a sharp knife
from the drawer
of your experience
and taste
its complexity.
