Rob (Villanelle) Poem by Charlie Parant

He lived a life of broken dreams
but found peace within the pieces
Life isn't always what it seems

while sometimes going to extremes
endorphin highs with quick releases
He lived a life of broken dreams

with whispers louder than the screams
every day the pain decreases
Life isn't always what it seems

while trying different coping schemes
all the stress those tears unleashes
He lived a life of broken dreams

by choosing sides and picking teams
comradery increases
Life isn't always what it seems

through darkest clouds and sunshine beams
I hope he found what peace is
He lived a life of broken dreams
Life isn't always what it seems
