I Hate When...

I Hate When...

A Poem by Anthony Q Armstrong
"

My girlfriend wrote this song.

"
Looking back at the old me,
I see what I could be.
Looking ahead to the life ahead of me,
I see all the lies the past made true.

I hate when people say, 
'Life will get better.'
How will we be sure?
How can anyone be sure?

Life's a lie, such a lie.
All the happy faces,
Seen in happy places.
Is it true, no one can see the truth.

I hate when people say,
'Life will get better.'
How will we be sure?
How can anyone be sure?

Just look in their eyes,
Then you'll see the truth.
Just look in my eyes,
And you will see the truth of life.

Life is fake, life is a farçe.
Life is pain, also a loss.
Life is like tug-of-war... 
Pushing and pulling.
It is also falling down, and getting back up.
Just to fall again.

I hate when people say,
'Life will get better.'
How will we be sure?
How can anyone be sure?

Will anyone ever find, the falseness of it all?

Amazing one.
your girl has a talent :)
best part is - we think of this every single day - when will life get better??
and if it gets better, we think, it can't get better than this.
its a cycle of karma and as she says "tug-of-war"
Beautiful one! keep it coming :)

oh it is a song, I knew it! Tell her it absolutely doesn't suck, its very raw and emotional. I also thought this line in particualr was very well written: Life is fake, life is a farçe.
God Bless

I write songs, I play them, they are what they must be: An expression of the inner world as a melody that makes a mind hum. Though the lyrics remain as dark as this life can be, they say a meaning that no one likes to accept: Life is what is, no matter how you look at it. It's a song I would listen, be it in acoustic or death metal! Love it!!

Its very thought provoking. Someday are just like she writes it. Most of us wonder around pondering the purpose, the point to it all. No one can guarantee the out come of each life as it varies.

We have control to persevere to pull our selves up and dust our selves off. We have a choice to lay there and do nothing when we get knocked down or get back up and say is that all you got.

Growing up Id tell myself out there in this world someone is suffering far worst than I am.

Nice song, keep it up. With every piece you write you learn and grow.

I think that this song could be very good, set to the right music. It would be better with a positive ending. While there are things in life that we can't change, sometimes very bad things, whenever we get a choice we have the opportunity to make things a little better. Positive thinking does help, and a hope of something better in the future helps even more. Also, recognize that whenever people say things will get better they are just trying to help. Anyway, it's a nice song.
