Only DownA Poem by Beth LindsayLuck bestows those who are good And those who do all that they could For wearing a smile and being honest and pure Their lives will be blessed for sure So I stumble around with a broken smile Just to get a good review on file Greet people and assist them in anyway And always honest in what I say I work hard and for anyone Even if I have to sacrifice a day of fun Yet these legends of being honest and kind I have yet a reward to find For I am treated worse than the devil And in the game called life I haven't reached the level Working together yet all alone When I'm down no one answers the phone I am in the wrong to be frustrated And all these smiles only got me hated Yet I wake up and keep on trying Smile by day, at night in crying Not in pity for my pathetic life But in frustration and strife For I done all I was told to do And yet all the chances I somehow blew Every situation is a lose lose No matter how I pay my dues With a smile or with a frown There isn't an up, only down© 2015 Beth Lindsay |
