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?

The song is great.This is how everyone of us must have felt in our dark times.
I hope she doesn't really believe that life is a lie and that its been said with a different feeling!!
And please tell her that shes great(her song is)

The hardest person to impress is yourself so I doubt she will think its good but the second hardest to impress is me and I think it is great except people say life will get better under the assumption that you want it to and you will fight for it. Because if you do life does get better. But amazing song props are given

Hi Anthony... I think it’s great that you want to support your girlfriend. I think it’s the right thing to do. However I’m not the right demographic for this type of thing. I think the world is largely made up by what we do and how we think about that action. Think good things... good things happen... more often than not. Think it’s all s**t and that’s exactly what you get... more often than not. Do something, make something... if you don’t like things the way they are CHANGE THEM... like I said I’m not the demographic
