ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION...

ON THE WAY TO DESTRUCTION...

A Poem by Huw

There is nothing more difficult
there is no harder work
Than for a man to pretend
to be contented and happy.

The work of pretence is burdensome and wearying
It allows no peace
possesses no satisfaction
It's hope is empty
though its promises
are plenteous and full
Pretence will find and be found
it cannot fool for long
it leaves despair in its wake
pretence ends in unbearable sorrow and suffering

Where did it all go wrong
Where did I go wrong
Why do I feel this way
Are just a few of the questions
people will ask when pretence is exposed
What's the point in going on
Who can I trust
Who will listen
Who will understand
are a few more
on the way to destruction...

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
