Someone's Got It Worse

You say your life is terrible
You think you’ve got it bad?
Your worst nightmare’s better than
The best I’ve ever had

You say your world is dark
You say your life is gray
You say, but you don’t have
To face my twisted soul each day

Family and friends surround you
So gripe until you’re hoarse
No matter how bad you think things get
Someone’s got it worse

It's so true - the things we complain about sometimes are so trivial in the grand scheme of things - so many people get by with less than what we have and would be happy to take on our problems - I enjoyed how this poem flows and the anger in it that seep out through your voice - awesome job!

Thank you!

You wrote this with a little bit of spite, and it adds a nice touch. I like this, it's too true. And I think that we all think about this in the same little way, at least some times- with a little of "I've been worse, I can rehash the horror stories so at least turn your situation around while you can and learn something about something else". Good work.

Thank you, it's what I was aiming for.
