Life

by amy   Nov 18, 2010


So many times have i tried to fight,
and become the brightness through the night,
so many times have i tried to smile,
and bring happiness within even for a while,
so many times have i tried to free,
the demons which lurk within me,
so many times have i tried to please,
just to fall heavily upon my knees,
but never have i tried to pretend,
that life is straight without a bend,
or that my heart can not be broken,
or a sad word from me can not be spoken,
because in life there are good times and bad,
along with happy times and sad,
and with each day there are things we will learn,
even if they scare, hurt and burn,
because that is life for you and me,
and the more we learn the stronger we will be...

    Hello Amy
    A thoughtful poem here about trying hard to get through life, being knocked down and never once deceiving yourself about the normality of this situation. Life is tough, there is good and bad but all we can do is keep trying.
    Well done and all the best,
    Ben
