Así es la Vida

Geographically perhaps, but in no other sense
have I been able to ward off familial norms or hardships

Avoiding the magical fruit has yielded no return
as it becomes painfully obvious from this path I shall not turn

Even though I wanted to, even though I tried
these intestinal dilemmas seem to heed no mind

I've moved beyond denial and through anger and doubt; now I'm onto acceptance
of these unusually often bouts of flatulence.
