How To Fail At Life Poem by Scott Forster

How To Fail At Life

Rating: 4.3


To Hurt Is Human
To Be happy, Divine
Some people find joy
one day i'll find mine
I walk through the darkness
struggling to find the light
without any strength within me
to try to put up a fight
give me a reason to live
cause dying looks easy to me
burn me in your memory
find me in the cemetery
meet me at the wake
eyes full of tears with heartbreak

the world is to me painted only in colours of grey
I have an ache in my heart that says I'm Not Okay.

Life is hard but dying hurts, so stay alive Scott........something good is always just around the next corner, don't miss it. A good poem but a bit worrying. I hope things have improved for you since... Happy New Year for 2010, I hope it brings you health, happiness and prosperity. Ruthie

A sad lament that is well written with much depth of expression of the struggle in coping with life. Hope this is made up & not real also. Ravensong

I hope this is simply free flowing poetry; not based on anything real. Because all you need in life is found within; the rest of life is a mere reflection of the world within. Find your peace on the inside, you'll find happiness in the outer. This is a great poem by the way. Most thought provoking.
