There are times when I've felt so alone
I could have just curled up and died.
Times when I knew such love and joy
I could have sat and cried.
Times when I could have just given up
but couldn't, because I tried.
None of us are any different.
We all have our ups and downs.
Between being King of our castle
and being seriously stupid clowns.
To finding the good in a bad situation
and making smiles from frowns.
The hidden strength in the human spirit
is something to behold.
It keeps us from the brink of disaster
and makes us strong and bold.
So let's turn this crazy world around
before the plot gets sold.
Before the mad Alchemists do their magic
and it turns to lead from gold.
Well thought out poem with a magnificent conclusion. Problem is there are many not like us who hate this world and want to destroy all who are in it. We must be vigilant and unafraid.
Beautiful poem, bittersweet just like life, but also hopeful. Really loved this, great work!
Before the mad Alchemists do their magic and it turns to lead from gold.
Such heartfelt words. Have been wondering where your poems went. Great to have you back
Such true words and so well penned. I often think about man's inhumanity to man and lack of compassion because so often the rules our governments makes, supported so often by the public are the same rules they cannot, themselves abide by because they are too harsh in practice. In other words 'man' is his own worst enemy as he can make the world a better place but so often chooses not to. It's a very simple rule, an old saying: Do as you would be done by.
Very true.We have to be always strong to face the trials of life.
