Life is Pain

I didn't write it nor do I ever write to make others happy-only to make one think.

We work towards a goal

From the day we were born

Unknowing of its value

So left with dreams torn

 

Were taught by the “others”

Higher and higher to aim

We are taught by our life

The value of “life is pain”

 

So sit back and mock me

With your heads all held high

I dare you to try out just once"

This life of mine…come on try

 

You will crumble with heart ache

Never will you be quite the same

I’ll then mock you and now cheer

Come on get up…this “life is pain”

 

You’ll crawl back to your sweet life

Nice cars and homes built the same

You lick your wounds in private

I bare my scars with pride not shame

 

I’ll always walk taller and wiser

I never look down or block my view

I steer clear of the fake self-deceiver

Are you still in denial that it is you?

 

You make me laugh in such pity

Soon you’ll lose sight of your aim

When you do, life’s new lesion"

Is a crash course in “life is pain”

Many will not like this poem, because it may seem unlifting some will love this one simply because they get it and it brings perfect clarity.I didn't write it nor do I ever write to make others happy-only to make one think.
