Merry-Go-Round

It doesn't end. Why?

There are times I want to cry
I ask millions of hows and whys
I use to laugh and always smile
It is so real, not just a style

It seems today is just the same
I am still dumb, I am still lame
I easily trust, I fall that quick
Then afterwards I feel so sick

I believe I see the soul of man
A heart should not be made for fun
And so they say I'm always wrong
When I decide to hear their song

Like carrousel, it only goes
Unending flow, it will not close
For I can't change this heart so pure
Those wicked ways I cannot cure

And so this merry-go-round goes on
My life, my battle I have to won
This heart should learn to become cold
Learn not all hearts are made of gold.

Author's Note

Is there a carrousel which is not round? Lol.
A 10-minute writing exercise, or a vent? 😜

Please don't turn your heart to anything but gentle love and the ability to see what's good in life and those living it. It is true - not all hearts are gold but then, perfection is a rare commodity, sometimes we have to be content with the 'trying hard to be better' ! A charming and lightly emotional poem, meter happy too.

A honest and powerful poem shared dear friend.
"And so this merry-go-round goes on
My life, my battle I have to won
This heart should learn to become cold
Learn not all hearts are made of gold."
The above lines. They are true, it feel like a merry-go-round with our emotions. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

you are right...A heart should not be made for fun...
and i can relate to the heart growing cold...enough ice thrown on it and in it...
yes, it does...
i like the Carousel idea...our them song for our prom was "On a Carousel" by the Hollies...still love that song.
and sometimes love is like riding on one...your poem is gold...and so relatable...
