life hurts...

life hurts...

A Poem by Marcie Nichols

Not fair...though I know life isn't fair.  Nic told me that time and again.
But sometimes I wonder why something can't work out right at least once in a while.

Life can be amaZing one moment then the next it can drag u down to the lowest deepest depths of sadness and loneliness.

The more u give, of yourself in this world...the more hurt u get in return.

But I have so much love and happiness inside of me to share. 

I can't not give it, that so isn't me.

But I pay for it in the end.

Why do I always lose..?

....all I want from this life is to live, really live.
And to love and be loved.
I don't need anything else.

Everything else can be destroyed tomorrow and I will survive.

I want to take in this wonderful world God gave us..
I want to treasure every little flower that springs up in the woods and the birds flying through the air. 
I want to help an old lady carry her groceries to the car.
I want to be a shoulder for that person that feels their life becoming hopeless.

But it is hard...
                      sometimes.

I caught a glimpse of my life in your poem. You're right life is hard but it is sooo worth the effort.

I'm putting this in favorites to remind me to enjoy the little things freely given us: love, creation, ourselves. When I need a little jolt, I will read this. Thank you so much for sharing.
