No One Told Me

A cement block is tied to my heart

Most days I need a running start

At night my voice carries like a lark

Death’s arrow has hit its mark

My life is so dark

This side of the ocean is full of sharks

Some days I feel like such a tart

I used to be my Dad's sweetheart

No one told me life would be so hard.

I absolutely love this Marie....it really made me smile.....especially the line "some days I feel like such a tart"....this is the stuff of life,.....real life, not what we show to the world...or what we feel we "should be"....thanks for your honesty and humour in this piece....(dark humour maybe...;))....great write....:)

I def. agree with wondering mind. We learn the hard way, and in the process, we stumble and fall and hurt our knees. Loved the chosen picture and the rhymes. Dark and Hearbreaking combination. Keep writing. While you're in this current mood, I recommend lsng to the song: The Hard Way by Fort Minor. It's amazing. :)

nice work...

life is that eventual experience of trial by error...

Awww... sad --- Life feels like that sometimes... but there is always the other side of the ocean

No one ever tells, or we seem not to listen, either way, we learn the hard way
