Misery

Misery

 

Misery is a friend to me, always there to comfort.

Misery is my friend you see, I can always count on her,

To be there with her heart in hand, and help me find my way,

To lead me through the darkest land, or through the brightest day.

For Misery is always there and never lets me down

An ever present presence, that wears her smiling frown.

For even in the greatest joy, sorrow can still hide

And Misery lets loose in me my darker, more dangerous side.

For Misery is a friend to me, always there to comfort.

Misery is my friend you see, I can always count on her.

She'll never make me go alone, she always will be there

In the farthest place I roam, or if I stay right here.

I love this whole thing. I really love love love the line "An ever present presence, that wears her smiling frown." The way that line flows is amazing. The whole flow of this poem is just drop dead awesome.
The rhyme was a genius addition, and the way it ends is like a fading trail, so yeah awesome. (I'm sorry for all the awesomes). I didn't really enjoy the line " To be there with her heart in hand..." but then I read the rest and seemed to string it in, it just didn't seem to fit in. I guess it was the rock sticking out of the stream. The next line was interesting, and I think that pairing of rhyme with the line before was a nice attempt...I don't really enjoy the A rhyme with the I, OR, or ER sounds...was a little weird because there weren't any the rest of the poem. Besides that small thing with those 2 lines, I think it was awesome.
Good job.
