I Complained!

I complained I must confess
I ranted and raved
About life’s pace
For it seemed too slow
When I had miles to go.
But I did recall
With a tinge of guilt though
The times I was so low
Because the world seemed uncaring
And everything was happening
All at the same time
Giving me no breathing space
Tempting me to resign to fate
Only to discover later
That it was for my own good
Things haven’t been any better
So now, forgetful as I might be
And at times blinded by my selfish whims
I thank Him indeed
For without Him
I would be headed for a crash within
And what a mighty crash that would be!

Aren't we really quick to complain about life?

i agree we rant about injustices in the world. i guess you have to gather the strength that you have to make things more bare-able. great poem.

its nice and has a feeling of an open heart...To complain to someone close is not always bad, because that means we are grown to realize our mistakes or problem..it`s worse if we don`t! We never will be able to see the truth in the eyes...

why complain when only you can change how you live your life.
You have free will to do as you think best.So do it.
