Life is meaningless

So they say.

Then let me live my meaningless way.

I’ll drink, I’ll smoke, I’ll fight and play.

And laugh every single day.

Sisyphus By Titian — [2], Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=3860214

And if I never win a prize,

then let me live my loser's life.

For every loss, heartbreak and failure,

will make me stronger in my strive.

So, destiny, come take your shot.

I’ll face you head on; with all I’ve got.

And when you’re done, I’ll stand my ground.

And with a smile I’ll look around.

I don’t need rest. Not in this life.

Nor in the next, for I will strive.

For I have lived a life so bold.

That even in death, I won't grow old.

Thus, I’ll look destiny straight into its eyes.

I’ll say “that’s all you got? I’ll still rise.”

For I have lived a life so free.

That nothing can ever conquer me.

Dear Camus, I have imagined Sisyphus being happy. Thank you.
