Life Is Not As Simple As You Think It Is Poem by RIC BASTASA

life is not as simple as you thing it is
there is no proven formula for it
so you may live
happily everafter
there are no asphalted and cemented roads
for you to take and be confident about your
certain destination
there are always potholes to give you bruises
and muddy ones to stain the white shirts
that you wear
you feel you need to stop and take some washes
you sometimes think that you want to cry
and shout and box the world with your
clenched fists
you look for your love ones along the roads
of your emptiness and you find that
they are no longer there
looking also for their own paths to fulfill their destinies
and oftentimes you want to simplify life with
death
only to find that with it life indeed has become more
compicated
you are having the hardest time to write the note
to say goodbye

some businesses are yet unfinished
some loves have not yet been said
