Fooled By Life Poem by Zubaida Boland

i've been fooled by life
and the people around me
time always fools us
sometimes it cheers us up
and sometimes it lets us down
when we need it
it passes so quickly
and when we're bored
it can hardly be tomorrow
it's all wrong
in my opinion
but it's truly right
this is life
and the way it goes
we always have
memories to remember
happy ones to make us wish
of having them once more
and sad ones
that would inspire us
to write a tragedy
but having this memories back
is impossible and all we can do
is cry or laugh about them
but that doesn't mean
life stops here
because there is always tomorrow to live
and to be afraid of its surprises
and to wait for them
so we should expect everything
that the future might be keeping for us.
