Life

Life isn't perfect

No one's life is perfect.

No one's life is fair.

It may seem perfect, but isn't.

Most people hide the pain.

Hide the bruises.

Tell everyone they are okay.

They aren't.

They found out the hard way that nothing is perfect.

That nothing is fair.

The pain is overwhelming.

The greif is even worse.

No one can take it all without shedding a tear.

In life..

Tears are shed.

Smiles are on faces.

Sorrow is on your soul.

And pain is in eyes.

Life will never be perfect.

No matter how hard you try.

Wow .. a sheer inspiration to the reality of life.. how I embrace this and know the power of this sadness.. great flow of emotions pouring out here.. and in each or own ways.. Rich or poor.. no one is without living pain. I of course am poor.. rich in life..but poor by wallet! Still regardless of what position we are in .. we must find the passion and strength to carry on. For life is what you make it after birth.. for those not shown the ropes.. it's a rougher path.. but you will live with a raging passion that can not be bought! No amount of money will make us happy.. no other person.. we have to find that happiness deep inside ourselves.. ALL LIFE IS A MIRACLE.. just being here.. just think the infinite possbilities.. the chances of two people meeting and procreating at that exact second you were created.. find the will to be more.. you have a passion in your writing.. start at that point.. and if little else.. if you touch one heart in life.. help one soul.. you will have accomplished and found a purpose! You started with me.. thank you! =)

Sadly, most of this poem is quite true about our lives. Indeed, life can often seem to be little more, than an ongoing struggle. And of course, our final destination is always the grim certainty of death. With no ambiguity, this dark poem reminds the reader, that many human lives are filled with pain, sorrow, grief and imperfection. Another worthy addition to our "Dark Poetry" Group, my friend. Keep writing, and try not to despair!
