Life is Never What it seems

Anxiety kicking in.

Lost love new changes,

The beating of my heart,

So fast, so scared,

Life is never what it seems,

Day by day I walk the shadows of my past,

Day by day I wonder into a state of oblivion.

 

Life is never what it seems.

 

There are some that go along their way,

Always smiling, always caring,

What is wrong that I see is the dark side of my reality?

 

Life is never what it seems.

 

My thoughts carry so deep,

Of a time that once was,

My thoughts live in my memory

Haunting a life, I could have had.

My heart beats fast, my mind races

I can barely feel what is deep inside,

For is there anything left?

 

Life is never what it seems.

 

Walking alone, feeling despair,

Seeing but not really feeling,

The motions around me seem to drift on and on

The life is surreal, is it really there?

 

Life is never what it seems.

loved the repetition of life is never really what is seems... made me think each time.

just so you know, you wrote barley instead of barely.... which kinda made me laugh. unless you meant wheat, you might want to change that lol :)

"What is wrong that I see is the dark side of my reality? "

i liked that line.

i have a tendency to do the same things you mention in this piece. but the past is not always the best place to keep our head - in face, it never is. i've had to cognitively retrain myself, to focus on the present... because if i dont, my mind becomes overwhelmed with the whatifs and the whatnots.

I could not have put it better ...... I could not have felt it more. Life IS never what it seems. Mx

Deep questioning and quite often life isn't what it seems, so maybe we need to seem a little harder lol
But in all seriousness, a great write, you got me thinking..

A powerful poem indeed!! The choice of words is great and the poem flows in a very good way.I liked reading it.Many of us focus on the dark side of the reality, just like it the poet.
And I totally agree, "Life is not what it seems"
